Regarding Xensource Enterprise I haven't seen if is released or prices.
Just wonder if they have a desktop/workstation product similar like VMware.
As far as I read in a datasheet Linux and Windows on Xen should be much
easier to install and use when the product became ready this year.
Any experience with Xensource Enterprise, benefits and addons tool
compared with vanilla Xen typical included with SuSE 10.1?
