How does this compare to other virtualization solutions?To me it seems like "live snapshot" is the wrong term to use if it doesn't include the RAM state. Specifically thinking of VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation... if I take a "snapshot" of a running system the disk and RAM states are preserved in that snapshot. If the VM is shut down, then only a snapshot of the disks is taken. Being that 3.1 is really close and this likely can't change (if such a change were to be made), can we at least have this noted somewhere in the documentation and/or interface that that is how "live snapshots" works at the current time? disk state only, no RAM state. If it's already there then I shall go to the quiet corner and RTFM. - Nick
