Hi Netaddict,
I think Greg has pretty much summed it up. Virtuozzo is basically OS level virtualization, so you are still sharing most of the resources with other users on the node, and something that another user is doing on the node can effect you. It is also possible for providers to significantly oversell their servers when using Virtuozzo. With Xen this is not possible, and you can use 100% of all the resources allocated to you. The benefit is that Xen gives you more flexibility, as you can install and configure more of the OS level settings on Xen than Virtuozzo.
