This raise some serious concerns on using VM in a production environment.
1. VM is very useful in development environment for making different setup in the testing phase.
2. It is useful in some areas like kernel mode debugging(I use WinDBG in Windows and it is very easy to debug).
3. What happen if the VM kernel or the underlying hardware face some issue ?(from some usual errors like network connection to hardware failure) . All VMs running in the host will die. It even reduce the availability of the entire servers. What is the advantage of having a VM in this case ? Money ?, Availability ?.
4. The performance and manageability, how many customer ready to give-up the better performance for better manageability ?.
5. How many times, customer move to Linux from windows or to Windows from linux so that it need to reinstall the OS in the same hardware ?.
