IMHO, if opensolaris can be supported guest OS in vmware then vmware has something to do with opensolaris. some obvious advantage 1)U can create opensolaris image very easily and distribute it one the web for user to try it out, U can also build appliance with some application into the image 2)It can be a playgroud to attract more developer, most developer use vmware, or like environmnet to install multiple OS to do test of the application 3)product demonstration will be easier, follow SE can have demo environment to show case most if not all solaris/JES /comm/java_caps/developer/studio/storage. Untill (open)Solaris/xen can support such environment, today vmware is the leader, SE need to understand the technology to talk about virt anyway my 2c
