Thank you everyone who’s posted comments. I’d like to take the opportunity to address some of the posts.
We are in the early stages of developing this system. This is not a Hoax.
We are running our Windows tests using Win4Lin Pro, and yes XEN2.0 doesn’t support Windows. In the near feature we are planning on getting Windows running with XEN3.0, but we still have some work to do in that regard (any volunteers?). We may just do an initial release without Windows support, although ReactOS is definitely worth a closer look if your looking for a Windows friendly Linux distro.
In respect to the screenshot looking like VMWare ESX. Yes it does, it will probably be changed in the near future to avoid any conflicts with the VMware copyright. I personally did the design, so comments are welcome and encouraged.
Python is hands down the best Event-driven programming languages around today. We are currently considering either Twisted or cherryPy for the web framework.
The license is yet to be determined, but it will mostly likely be either a LGPL, Mozilla or BSD style license. This should be decided shortly.
To be honest, we never expected this kind of response to our proposed project. It's been absolutely astounding the amount of interest we've received in the last few days. We’ve had more then 10,000 visitors today. Dare I say open source virtualization is poised to be huge in the coming year.
We are looking forward to getting more feed back, including any feature requests and design comments. If you’re interested in getting involved with the development of the control system, please feel free to get in touch with us.
