"Recently there's been a lot of news about OpenSolaris, more specifically in reference to the great progress made by virtualization technologies in it. In this article, I will examine some of these technologies, and compare them with the state of the art on other platforms."

Tully everything you could want for your virtualization needs, OpenSolaris is fast becoming an excellent addition to the Solaris line. Although it will take some time for Xen to be fully support in Solaris 'proper', it's great to see the progress the OpenSolaris project is making.
One thing that I, personally, would avoid is the Branded Zones solution. If I can already run Linux using a fully hardware virtualized environment, with hardware acceleration to boot, why would I want to run it using OS virtualization? I always thought that Branded Zones where a stopgap solution untill something more robust come alone, i.e. Xen.
Still, questions aside, thanks to the OpenSolaris project for all the hard work!
