I'm interested if anyone has a no nonsense virtualization solution that they trust. I have UML - which sucks. I've got a VZ host, and discovered it wouldn't run one of the apps I wanted efficiently (to do with memory mapped files). QEMU is presumably complete, but I've had issues making it work with the host systems screen/keyboard/mouse combination. Clearly it isn't working with these things at the right level if it needs to worry about such details. The best I've seen was Virtual PC images Microsoft shipped as Browser testing environments, where you can fire up IE8 on Vista inside Windows XP, and see if your web app works as expected. But I never tried anything complicated (beyond what runs in a browser), so no idea how performance compares. I haven't tried Xen, or a load of others in serious test mode.
