The most exciting line from the article :

"Eventually we expect Xen will get industrywide acceptance, and we'd like to be part of it. Some time, probably in the second half of 2007, we will merge," Yen said.

With all the cool technology that is being open sourced from IBM and now possibly Sun in the future Xen looks to grow into something wonderful.

I almost feel sorry for Microsoft. Their "me to" hypervisor is pretty much guaranteed to pale in comparison.
