JOLLANS: I think a lot of this is about the community and about the
ecosystem. 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 <a

target="_blank">oVirt</a>, 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.<br>
