We know that both Xen and KVM virtualization are good and supports Windows also. If we check the performance comparison reviews we can see that both offer great performance.

What is your view on Xen vs KVM ?

Note:-
Please don't come up with recommendation for other products like VMware or Hyper-V.

I like KVM more. KVM is simply the future.
RHEL 6 dropped Xen support already from their kernel, any host running Xen would be either using CentOS 5 or compiling their kernel on their own.
I bet that most of them are running it on CentOS 5 to avoid compatibility problems.
I am not saying this is bad, I am just saying that KVM is the next big coming thing.
 
My personal opinion (Even though it may seem biased) is that i prefer KVM. I love been able to install from scratch and configure everything as i need, instead of relying on templates which are usually outdated.
