Anyone else seen this? "Citrix announced today that they are giving
away their Xen OSS based virtualization platform XenServer with all
the goodies included for free. The big highlights are XenMotion, which
lets you move VMs from box to box without downtime, and multi server
management. The same stuff in VMware land is $5k."

Pretty cool... dunno how well Xen stacks up directly against VMware
though... you can't beat the free price though, if you're only using
VMs in a testing environment :-)
