Which would you be more interested in and why?

Assuming a provider was going to offer either Xen or KVM and offered the same specs on both which would you go for and why would you prefer that particular virtualization technology?

Sorry but again this kind of question?

BlueVM

Its slightly different from anyone elses because I want to know WHY people prefer one or the other... The other questions are which do you prefer...

Xen because the logo looks cooler.

Everyone knows it's better for reasons posted below.

I'll give KVM a vote because there's a "V" somewhere in each of the characters.

XEN PV over KVM
KVM over HVM
OpenVZ over HVM
XEN PV and KVM over OpenVZ
2 Paper cups and some string over HVM

I am sure you know the reasons, what ever your thinking the answer is... "yes that's right"

So that's from a host perspective anyway, from a consumer perspective I personally prefer KVM, mainly because I like obscure OS's and testing things that some of the of the other virt types will not allow.

Xen-HVM is slower than KVM
grub in Xen-PV is a kludge and changing kernels is tricky. If you don't use pygrub then kernel modules are a problem.
KVM just works.

More then likely KVM.

I would choose KVM.

I would prefer Xen. But i think that all depends on what you want it for.
