I really recommend using XEM instead since this is the official way.

I think we should discontinue that page and move everything to XEM.

The alternative is to decide that we don't need XEM and move  
everything back to XE. However I don't think it's a good idea since I  
believe XEM will develop further in the future: more features, its own  
skin and l&f, etc.

Best IMO is to remove the Virtualization page and instead redirect to  
a page in manager.xwiki.org that explains it all.
