The XCP snapshot = XenServer development trunk (except windows GUI, HA and WLB)

So with XCP you get shiney new stuff like:
* RBAC
* memory ballooning
* much more recent kernel (2.6.27 vs 2.6.18) etc
* checkpoint/ rollback

However with XenServer you get a fully polished thing which has been 
extensively stress-tested for ages.

Cheers,
Dave
