hotstuff

without disk i/o resource controls, this is useless. one 'virtual environment' which starts swapping heavily enough is going to kill the rest of the box. yes, i know what i am talking about.

your product itself offers *nothing* that xen does not. you do have a nice management app, but it costs too much for a single server deployment. whats worse is that since you are closed source, your clients are stuck waiting for security updates until you manage to patch your stuff. can you say ouch?

im still waiting for someone to submit a gpl code disclosure request. your kernel patches and module are in violation of the gpl. the only reason noone has done it this far is you forcing people to sign an nda before they ever look at any of your products.

you had an excellent business opportunity a year or two ago when your stuff was the only thin virtualization technology on the market. however, you completely priced yourself out of the non-enterprise market and the complete ineptness of your sales force at that time was staggering. now that xen is out, with ibm and novell building management tools on top of it, youre done. but you know that, which is why you bought plesk. interestingly enough, plesk sucks ass too.
