reply 2, new thoughts
(perspective: running *one* Windows-XP-VM on a desktop-machine, for some
specific software):
Linux 3.1 brings KVM-related improvements. I will check those.
I don't see any performance-issues here with KVM, waiting for
vmware-player just out of curiosity ... (and KVM is told to be more
efficient anyway, closer-to/inside the kernel).
Choosing KVM would mean running only one virtualization here,
simplifying things and going the open-source path.
I simply haven't migrated that one XP-VM yet because I didn't need to so
far.
Stefan
