I assume the ASA's don't run natively on VMware or Xen, I assume you =
have to use something like GNS3. I think that would be fine for =
testing, but in real world production running an ASA on GNS3 under an =
another OS seems like a bad idea. I hope Cisco will come out with =
Virtual Appliances for some of their products like they did for the =
Nexus 1000V.

If that were the only qualification, PIX builds for the 515s would run =
under VMWare or XEN as well. Maybe they do, but I've never seen it.
