was at the Sun Dev Day too - at least we scored a nice little coffee, 
ummm, "Java Cup" out of it :') Was impressed with the ZFS 'rollback' 
feature, but I've been 'scripting' the same sort of thing (grab copy, do 
stuff, run script to copy back) for a while - so minimal benefit with 
just that feature ;')

I _luff!_ VBox - one feature not mentioned that I use all the time, is 
the ability to use an MS-VHD (from VirtualPC) - I'm in a predominantly 
MS shop, so it helps in building images for students - take a 'raw' vhd, 
build the os / tools in it, make available to students.

and all the javafx stuff - wow! pretty! :')
