Whilst vaguely on the subject of Virtual Machines has anyone else noticed that Citrix are now giving away a pretty feature complete builds of XenServer ?
The feature set is interesting enough that on paper it puts it ahead of many of the paid for features in say VMware' ESX server.

Has anyone tried it yet. The next time I have a VT capable box to play with it is going on.
The biggy for me is the P2V tools, they are the reason I am on VMware rather than some of the Free alternatives because we use them to quickly put together DR environments and to sandbox "risky" upgrades. If the Citrix ones work as well as the VMware ones then this will be good.
