VMWare is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition right now in providing software VM on the desktop... XEN requires certain hardware in order to virtualize Windows... As far as xenonkey... It's not the same at all... You are required to have the software installed in two places (the software being XEN) and then you can transfer a VM with the state saved... This is nothing new... VMWare has been doing this since at the very least 4.x... and I'd imagine well before.. The VMWare ACE 2 Beta USB Key is different as it contains everything you need to plug in the USB key and use the VM contained on the thumb drive... no need for installed software on the recipient computer.

VMWare is a marketing company bringing virtualization to people stupid enough to pay for it. Somebody already did this with Xen like two years ago. see xenonkey or a variety of other packages... eh… VMWare is a marketing company bringing virtualization to people stupid enough to pay for it.
