That's wrong, people have been able to buy VT enabled processos. Even if they are scarce, pretty soon (weeks, a few months at most) they'll be available everywhere. > >From my short experience, Xen is a quite complex to setup, compared to > QEMU or VMWare, and Xen has a lot of catch up to do (heck, you can't > even use a QEMU or VMWare hard disk images with Xen unless you go > through few "translation" methods). Why would you want to use a disk image when you can use a host partition natively, or a host disk, or an LVM snapshot, or anything else Linux can access as a block device. File images are only useful for playing and experimenting. No doubt the proprietary VMWare is superior to the free software Xen in a number of aspecs, but arguably so is Windows to Linux. Which would you rather invest time and effort in? (rhetoric question, no answer necessary).
