With KVM, it's easy to run "Linux Version X" on the host, and "Linux Version X+Y" as guests. Trying to get that setup to work with Xen, especially with Grub1 on the host, and the VMs wanting Grub2 (aka using Debian Lenny for Dom0 and Debian Squeeze for DomU) was an extreme exercise in frustration. Doing the same with KVM is a snap. The whole Dom0/DomU split is a hassle as well. Now that all CPUs (well, at least all of AMD's CPUs) support hardware virt, I honestly do not see a reason to use Xen. It's just not worth the hassle for a theoretical couple % better performance. > Thank you KVM developers.
