Just curious.  Why do you see this as an advantage over using the Xen
hypervisor?

Not arguing, I'm just not seeing why it is a big deal.


1. Stability.
Xen kernels are unstable, and they tend to crash-on-boot on some
hardware. However after it boots, it works pretty stable.
2. Management
I don't like Xen management tools, I dislike the way I control the VMs
and the RAM. KVM/VMware/VirtualBox/Qemu are much more natural in terms
of guest control.
It's a pain controlling Xen.
