I agree fully here. Don't forget: We never saw any ISV support for either
LX-Zones nor lxrun (we even have problems with Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 branded
zones and ISV support!). All Linux App vendors do rely on a real Linux
kernel. That can only be achieved by running it in a full V12N environment,
like VBox, Xen, VMware, you-name-it. And support is a very important driver
for business decissions in corporations...
