VMware performance spikes with InovaWave DXtreme, users say - here

Interesting to see that the concepts & solutions already done for high-end virtualization solutions, in the mainframe and Unix worlds (IBM & Sun), are now being re-discovered in the PC virtualization world too. I think it's a matter of weeks before DXtreme is bought by VMWare or Microsoft.
