No disrespect to the XEN guys, but the other advantage of VMWare is that
they really know virtualization. When it comes to emulating hardware
that runs production apps, I want my (emulated)hardware to be
rock-stable, and only VMWare has that proven track record!

'course XEN is open source ... and that's important to some folks.

Personally, I find vmware to be a vital part of my development environment ... as I am able to test software in complete isolation, with various mixed configurations, without needing dozens of computers or a huge amount of time saving & restoring systems.
