Hi, I am currently evaluating a number of virtualization solutions (from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines).
I would like to build a system that allows me to use windows as a desktop solution (preferably "natively" and not over RDP, though I can live with that if need be), and run Linux guest VMs. In one of those VM's I would like to run a MythTV backend, making use of some PCI capture cards. Xen looks promising, but reading the mailing list archives leaves me thinking I will be doing a lot of trial and error to get it working. Additionally, running Windows in Xen requires HVM, which then precludes a lot of other functionality (like USB support I believe). Colinix looks interesting also, but I don't get a good feeling of stability (also, no graphical adapter). KVM might work, but looks fairly new. I haven't found a lot of information on how Windows guests perform. Will VirtualBox support PCI hardware in a guest vm? Any other comments/thoughts are appreciated. Lastly, why is Vista not a supported host OS? Thanks!
