...ouch,
sorry for my noise - i've misunderstanded your question completely.

There are many points why i would hardly prefer XEN over kvm or others in most 
cases when i want to virtualize Linux or NetBSD, but the most important are:

1.) XEN PV offers very ressource efficient hardware usage and a maximum of 
performance by a very low (to theoretically none in special circumstances) 
virtualization overhead.

2.) The security structures are the most transparent for me.

As i wrote: I mainly paravirtualize Linux or xen guests in server or appliance 
applications and even partly on desktops.

Desktop full virtualization might be more comfortable with solutions like 
VirtualBox or Parallels - but even this depends from what you would do and how 
far the user has to be invloved on which knowledge level into the VM management 
/ usage as there is no such full (free) GUI for xen desktop virtualization 
afaik.


hth
best regards,


Niels.


cheers,


Niels.
