Zach,

I'm sure you've said it before, but just in case it's changed since then --

What VM tool(s) are you currently using/prefer? Lee and I have been
using VirtualBox, but starting to consider switching to Xen (at least
for some applications). Each has benefits and restrictions. I think
any VM tool will call for some kind of compromise (including having to
pay for it ;-) ).
