VMWare are a bit silly to release stuff like this, just lowers the whole game. Is it still true that they on their side forbid publishing performance benchmarks in their EULA? I heard something like that a while ago. I think, here in Germany they would have not many chances to get this through - a lot of the EULA stuff is not likely to go through a juristic check... [1] http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/resources/711 But why must their benchmark stop at 4 vcpus? Don't they wanna test real high performance systems? How about showing a benchmark of xen with 32 cpus against a vmware server,( which can only use 4 of these 32), and benchmarks that need more than 8GB of RAM :) On the other hand, it's also true that Xen itself does not work 100% so very good as all the advertising can make one expect - when looking closer it's not exactly a lie what some XenSource marketing claims say, but some details are just not told... And some things a user expects are really hard to do... Still I am a free software fan, and this adds enough bonus for the time being...
