Hi Kirill!

You have been doing great, great job since OpenVZ, since many, many, 
many providers used it (secretly). Also with Parallels, your commercial 
"line" ...

But i really, really suggest, that you to migrate to Linux 3.2 AND 
FreeBSD 9.0 "jails" very soon, since FreeBSD has much much advanced, 
decicive features, compared to Linux: ZFS, rockstable, even under 
highest overloads (50x overload you can still login), and you offer 
migration paths from Linux to FreeBSD for Parallels AND FreeBSD/OpenVZ

Tnx in advance, keep up the good work!
