Unless you are doing it for self education, technology preparation
in anticipation of a Xen future, or investing oneself in the
technology for whatever reason, I'd say you shouldn't use Xen yet.
Getting a well-running Xen configuration is still a linux black-
belt level task.

VMWare products are rock-solid dependable and are generally work
out of the box.

There is the question of whether or not VMWare supports Vista. You
should check that. Also, some versions of Vista aren't licensed for
virtualization (if you care).
