Hardware virtualization allows you to install unmodified guest systems (in contrast to paravirtualization where the guest kernel must be modified); that way you cannot only virtualize OpenSource operating systems like Linux and BSD, but also closed-source operating systems like Windows where you cannot modify the kernel.

An Interactive eGuide: Open Source

By now, enterprises are well aware of the benefits of open-source software, which boasts a clean design, reliability, and maintainability, as well as support for standards and community values. But perhaps the biggest benefit is quality; since open-source software users have access to source code, bug fixes and enhancements come from multiple sources, often resulting in superior software.
