MS virtual Server: what u think?


MS virtual server is now free (as in beer)
VMware GSX remains un-free

I've heard of stability issues with MS virtual server vs VMware GSX, but their April product seems pretty stable, if not a tad slower in disk I/O.  How much would you trust MS Virtual Server for things like mission critical apps or a virtual print server hosting 100 printers?

VMware GSX is Free too!  
 - this makes my week

Info from vmware site:
VMware Server Replaces VMware GSX Server
VMware Server offers more than GSX Server.In addition to the VMware GSX Server capabilities, the generally available release of VMware Server plans to offer the following unique features:
Virtual SMP
Experimental support for Intel® Virtualization Technology
Support for 64-bit guest operating systems

The free VMware Server represents the upgrade path for all GSX Server customers.
 Once VMware Server is generally available, which is currently planned for Q2 2006, it will replace GSX Server as VMware's hosted server virtualization offering.
