My first post, thanks for coming.

I’m a technical consultant and generalist who’s been using virtualization as a training and demonstration tool for the past 4-5 years. I started with VMWare, moved to Connectix then Microsoft. I’ve used Xen and more recently Parallels along the way for specific projects.

I’ve never had a consistent favorite my opinion changes by release cycle; it depends mostly on what I’m working on. Every platform out there has some benefit over the other but none of them are all things just yet. All the “big guys” are playing now though, and there is a new company everyday with VC funding trying to expand the space. Good things are on the horizon and I'm excited to have a space to watch (and participate just a bit) from.
