We use Xen since decades now in a full open source setup - running Linux as NetBSD in PV and PVH mode (Paravirtualization) and PVH (paravirtualized full virt) mode, but offers full hardware virtualization as well. Main reason is: performance and flexibility for typical internet server applications / network aplications with PV / PVH modes. Main reason why Xen is less known - Xen has no own mechanism to create new VM (domU) instances - this has to be done manually or by third party management tools. There are different management tools which offer "less or more similiar to VMware" GUIs to/with Xen. We are using our own Xen Hostsystem (dom0) distribution (Gentoo Linux based).
