Xen, a virtualization competitor to the popular VMware and others, is working on a 3.0 version due later this summer. The new version will let each of a user's virtualized operating systems run on many processors, including ones using 64-bit extensions. Xen's supporters include IBM, AMD, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, and Red Hat. By 2007, Microsoft is expected to have its own virtualization features.
