I was pretty excited about virtualization too but now all I want in FreeBSD is very strong jails features like Solaris has with zones. When I like at the fact that Linux has several full virtualization solutions, that Sun is developing their own technology, that Microsoft is developing their own technology, that Xen is now owned by Citrix, that VMWare is still going their own proprietary route, and that this is just scratching the surface, I really scratch my head and wonder how am I going to support all these technologies and how exactly are all these native virtualization technologies going to work with each other. I'm getting too old to bother. Right now, I will stick with VMWare and when the dust settles, I think that will be a good time for FreeBSD to worry about what technology to exactly support and what technology I should learn.
