The Xen virtual machine monitor was recently merged into the upcoming 2.6.23 Linux kernel in a series of patches from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. The project was originally started as a research project at the University of Cambridge, and has been repeatedly discussed as a merge candidate for the mainline Linux kernel.

Competition is always good, having KVM and Xen as two different projects would have been better for the community than adding both projects into the Linux mainline;
What can we expect now from those projects?
1. They will find a good way to live together into the Linux kernel? IMHO that is not a good approach; having two things to do the same thing into the same project just make them bloat.
2. Xen will eat KVM or viceversa? Very negative, because competition is always good.
3. They will get merge technologically? Maybe this is the best option.
