Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris "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."

While zones are great, and Crossbow is a very exciting, and needed, development for zone security, I would not agree that OpenSolaris has everything I could want for my virtualization needs...

I guess I have to be the first to point out that Xen is only for x86 and x64, not SPARC. Neither Solaris or OpenSolaris have a technology for SPARC like VMware's VMotion or AIX's Partition Relocation, where you can move running images between hosts. To be sure, that feature becomes indispensable once you start using it.
