Hi, I just wanted to clear up some confusion about XCP. XCP now comes in 
two flavors, the unstable version that Grant spoke of, which we're still 
prototyping (http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian), and the stable 
version that's currently available as version 1.0 (or in beta at 1.1).
XCP 1.0 is basically identical to XenServer 5.6 FP1, except that it 
doesn't include any of XenServer's closed-source bits, such as workload 
balancing or high availability. Other than those things, it has rough 
feature parity with XenServer Enterprise.
See the XCP/XenServer feature comparison matrix on the Xen.org wiki for 
more details 
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XCP/XenServer_Feature_Matrix).

Excellent! Please let us know how things come along with that move.
