Figures... I think I built those in June or so.   Anyway, while the
VMware console client is somewhat slicker I don't see any functional
reason to change back - KVM runs them just the same.

I ran (in my previous job) four Windows 2008 server VMs, two Windows XP
VMs, and one Windows 7 VM on KVM with CentOS-5.x as the base OS.  I did
not have any major issues .. but I did not try to do things like USB
connections, etc.


I run, on Centos 6.5, a headless Virtualbox system with phpVirtualbox which runs:

17 Centos 6.5 Systems
1 Windows 7 System
1 FreeBSD System

Works a treat, the hardware is a dual Quad core Xeon system with 96GB of RAM. Not had any problems with CPU over-subscription.
