If Xen diverts into multiple code bases then you don't get the same sort of community effects here. With KVM, along with SUSE and Intel and HP and Red Hat and a number of others, we put together a couple of groups recently: the Open Virtualization Alliance, which is looking at how do you educate the market about KVM, and more recently oVirt <http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/061908-red-hat-summit-hypervisor.html>, which is about getting virtualization management to a common code base as well. So if you can hold the communities together and develop a single code base, then I think long term you've got a much better future than if it diverges into several code bases. http://www.arnnet.com.au/article/410101/what_next_hypervisors_/?fp=4&fpid=1090891289 --------------060009070508050507010907 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <br> JOLLANS: I think a lot of this is about the community and about the ecosystem.
