Given that Microsoft has made the Microsoft variant "free" (as in
beer), VMware is challenged to run on top of Windows. Microsoft
will even
support running linux on top of their Virtual Server product, as
discussed.
Given that Xen is free (beer and speech) on all platforms, VMware is
challenged everywhere else.
Microsoft licensed its Virtual Hard Disk file format to Xen, too.
