The negatives relative to some of the other VMMs are: 1 requires guest OS to be ported 2 poor documentation 3 weak support for CoW sparse virtual disks
Point 1 you'll have to live with. We hope the community will fix 2. A solution to point 3 already exists but needs to be integrated.
Hi Rune,
Concerning point 1, an important point is that it is just the kernel that needs to be ported (I don't know about the Windows XP port). And most of the patches are in the architecture dependent or memory parts which means a lot of other kernel patches can coexist with the patch! (i.e., not as bad as it sounds)
