For me, Vmware never went out of their way for Linux users. It was Suse fans
that helped people update modules, and (the unsung developer of
vmware-any-any-update) and provide the technical support to keep
Vmware running on Suse 9.2 through to 10.1. I would have been lost without
them. Also, some years ago Vmware dropped their single user lisence in favour
of a more expensive one. Back then they did not have much competition. Now
they seem to be falling over themselves to stay ahead of the pack. I
welcome Xen. The opportunity to have virtualization on an Open Source 
platform is something I look forward to. It may take some time to develope a
comparable product. In the meantime we can make a smoother transition from
Vmware by learning how Xen operates and becoming strong in its inner workings.

My 2c from desktop user perspective ;)
