Yeah, i got the impression from talking to this consultant that Red
Hat wants to be agnostic about the whole thing. They have sent out
memos telling people to just call it virtualization and not mention Xen.
I've heard that Dell is also trying to make it so that the Xen and other
hypervisor developers can standardize things so that they can put the
hypervisor in hardware. That's just a rumor though. Not sure what will
win out.
