I’m not sure this is true… There is a version of Hyper-V available in which you don’t need a W2K8 license to use….  Only problem is all of the supported VM Guests are licensed products but it is possible to installed a free distro of Linux.  Now, why you would want to is another story.

Also consider that everyone says that the Microsoft Hyper-V is free, however, you still have to buy Windows server to get it!! In your cloud example there are MANY commercial cases where a hypervisor that is actually free will continue to make economic sense for a long time!!

If you follow groups like http://groups.google.com/group/cloud-computing/, you will definitely get the idea that XenSource is the dominating hypervisor within the “Cloud”. Of course Cloud means different things to different people. Not wanting to take Serguei’s comments out of context, but when he says “This will signal the eventual end of XEN”, that will only happen when marketing rebrand it J.

BTW, don’t forget that according to the press releases Xen is “Cloud Proven”, that is my new requirement for all products! J
