These two virtualization solutions join the already merged KVM, offering Linux multiple ways to run multiple virtual machines each running their own OS."

The only reason I currently have a windows partition at all is for gaming.
Being able to run Windows 3D games in a VM would allow me to move to a Linux-only box and also give me a nice way of:
* managing the way windows keeps grabbing diskspace
* remove the need to go through reinstalling/reactivating windows every 6 months or so
* limiting the damage Windows virusses can do
* limiting all the phone-home comms with Microsoft that windows keeps doing
