Further, Microsoft will be (is already, in the beta) supporting XenServer and the XenCloud products in SCVMM 2012.
I can assure you that if they thought Xen was dead, they wouldn’t have invested the effort. Xen and Hyper-V are also very similar “under the hood”. How similar would take a paravirtualization architect to describe – but very similar. Regards, Michael B.

Do you realize that the vast majority of public cloud providers run on either the free or paid for XenServer or the free Xen hypervisor? One Canadian cloud provider has over 12,000 XenServer hosts. Now that Citrix has bought cloud.com, the Xen open source project and the Citrix XenServer (free and paid) product are not going away.

You might as well move to HyperV now if you want to avoid VMWare. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
