Correct, but not free as in open source, the license agreement is more
restrictive, hence fedora can't include it

Vmware but thats free too.. :)
This also is a blocker even if the license was an acceptable open source
license - if you install the package it refuses to run {until you
retrieve and enter a license key}.
xen (and other vm technologies) virtual machine in f7 now have a nice
gui, that makes it heaps easier to set up.
Vmware will run unmodified OS versions (as in windows too) in machines
that don't have VT capable CPU's. The virtual machine images are
portable across Windows, Mac, and Linux hosts. VMware can run the vast
number of downloadable pre-built images here:
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/. Xen may have other
advantages but there are still reasons to run VMware - and the price is
right.
