Without a project like Xen, virtualization would be out of reach for a lot of researchers and corporations alike. It seems that Xen is to infrastructure what Linux is to the OS.

Its nice to see big vendors, universities and volunteers working to advance the future of computing for everyone. This is more proof that the community can really make things happen when they work together.

Don’t allow any one vendor to lock them into a particular solution. Virtual appliances should be able to be moved between different virtualization systems seamlessly.

There are interoperability problems between operating systems, documents, browsers, etc.. Virtualization becoming ubiquitous is a real chance to fix some of those problems for customers and users.

Promoting and using open source and open standards is a really important part of bring virtualization to the next level.
