Hyper-V vs. VMWare vs. Xen

Here is one post that might start a flame between my readers. When you try to compare Hyper-V vs. VMWare vs. Xen, you will see that there is no “the best” solution. Every solution has it pros and cons. Which ones? Rick Vanover wrote a great article at Techtarget, trying to compare there three solutions and write down their pros and cons. You can read full article here (note: you have to be registered and logged in to access all content at Techtarget).

What do you think? Is this true? Do you agree with this article? What can you tell us about your experiences with these products and what can you recommend to my readers? Please write it down in comments.
