因為在即將發布的Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0中，將包含有Xensource的軟件產品，說這兩者交惡，純粹是無中生有。
為此，Redhat公司還專門發布了聲明，全文如下： Red Hat would like to clarify certain press reports from Australia regarding Red Hat's position regarding Xen and XenSource.
Red Hat is firmly committed to open source virtualization, based on the open source Xen project. We believe the technology from the Xen project is one key component of a virtualization platform which will deliver significant benefits to customers, improving the economics, flexibility, and responsiveness of their IT investments, which we will deliver in the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat is investing agressively in the Xen project and in ensuring its readiness for the enterprise.
We have built our business delivering enterprise-ready open source solutions. Our customers expect that when we ship a product, it is ready for production use. We believe the Xen project is not currently stable enough for production deployment. We sponsor the Fedora distribution in part to deliver technology previews which are not yet ready for enterprise production deployment and we currently offer Xen technology to customers via Fedora, and have done so for nearly a year. Red Hat is investing heavily in the improvement of the Xen project, along with others in the open source community. We are encouraged by the rapid progress being made, and expect the technology to be sufficiently improved, hardened and tested so that it will soon be included in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization platform (our current estimate is approximately the end of 2006). Our commitment to the Xen community project is unwavering, as is our commitment to deliver reliable, production quality code to customers. We will ship Xen virtualization when it is fully ready for mission-critical enterprise customer deployment, but not before.
On a related point, Red Hat has made no statement regarding the products offered by XenSource, Inc. An earlier press report which asserted otherwise has been corrected.

這下你應該明白了吧，Redhat公司雖說Xen虛擬技術沒有達到完美，在數據中心應用上尚欠火候，但是他們06年12月份的新產品RHEL5.0中肯定會包含。現如今，你只能在SuSE Enterprise Linux中使用Xen虛擬技術。
