What are the advantages of zones compared to jails?
Zones allow more options of resource management, for example you can say that this Zone will yse this and this CPU, ou, and maybe I will also that one later, and that amount of RAM, while Jails does not offer such management/flexibility.

Following the mailinglists shows that jails are receiving focus and better options for tuning resources in jails will be coming (in FreeBSD 8 at latest is my guess).
Full scale virtualisation (a la Zen and VMware) is in my opinion only needed in corner-cases and for running old poorly supported/portable legacy apps. Binary API emulation (in a container like zones/jails/vserver) is the correct way IMHO.
