If you're new to virtualization, and use it primarily on laptop for
testing/demo, I'd actually suggest you do not use Xen, and rather use
virtualbox/vmware. Also note that whatever method you use to provide
snapshot/rollback capability, it will incure some kind of overhead
(which can be significant), so be sure to test it first.

Agreed. Virtualbox has snapshotting built in and works well once you understand their crazy terminology.
There are a lot of complaints in the VirtualBox forums about snapshotting not being straight forward but it does work.
I had to set up a VM, then try different things to figure out what does exactly what but once I had it figured out then I used
it a lot.

Some people, when confronted
with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two
problems.
