As much as I like Vservers (we use them on 2 of our Production

This is called PR. If you read this, you'll have a better idea of what's
going on here:

Xen was funded by commercial research money (from Microsoft and Intel
IIRC) with the intent of turning it into a commercial venture, which is
what Xensource is. All this "buzz" is to a large degree artificially
generated to support the venture.
Apparently the current version (v2) isn't that great but the next
version (due out in August) sounds like a huge leap forward.
And longhorn will just totally kick ass, so I heard! :-)
