XCP is really a complete system for running and managing virtual 
infrastructure, rather than a hypervisor and a bunch of tools. As well as xen + 
linux 2.6.27 it includes
* windows PV drivers
* multi-host resource pools
* pluggable storage modules (iSCSI, FC, NFS)
* live snapshot, checkpoint, migration
* DR
* XMLRPC API + CLI for configuration
* RRD-based performance monitoring 
* event system and task progress tracking
* simple host-installer

However, IMHO, the most important thing is that these are all integrated and 
tested together, as a single coherent whole.

Cheers,
Dave
