>Xen-based products have quickly gained market share, accounting for almost a fifth of servers virtualized to date.

Remind me that 80% of all statistics are made up. So how would you have determined the installation base of the other solutions like kvm, lguest, virtualbox, and UML eh?

Wow! You actually read all of that? I'm genuinely impressed.

Heck, you don't have to read anywhere near *all* of it to come across that. I didn't, and did. :-)

Besides, I thought it was 84.3% that were made up...

And considering IBM is claiming that their POWER servers (a.k.a. mainframes) have a much higher rate of virtualization adoption than x86/x64 servers, the figure gets even more dubious.

POWER (pSeries) is not the same as mainframe (zSeries). Although, being IBM products, they both have much higher price rate than x86[_64] servers so they are doomed in the long run :>

Yeah any decade now those predictions will come true and mainframes will be dead for sure!
