While I am watching Xen development fairly closely, I am not a big fan of paravirtualization. I'd much rather use true virtualization such as VMware as the guest OS does not require modifications.

Xen is perfectly stable! Except when she gets a snootful, and then she's still predictable. ;)

I just re-read the title of this article, and it doesn't actually make sense, grammatically.

Novell's CTO is defending claims that Xen is unstable? Or is he defending Xen against the claims of it being unstable (which is what I think is actually meant)?

despite its self-proclaimed pace-setter status, Novell has not yet completed rolling out Linux desktops to all its employees. The vendor announced the plans over two years ago.

Wow, some halfway honest reporting. And posted by noobie even.

Initially a Windows software company, Novell turned to Linux-based software when it completed the acquisition of SUSE Linux in 2004.

So much for the honest reporting.

Novell's Enterprise Linux Server Takes 30% Of Server Market

It's just claims by Novell, with no independent numbers to back them up, but I think it interesting that they are comfortable making the claim in the first place.
