I am still new to the learning curve on Xen. I'll look in to it a bit and see 
what 
I can figure out.

Yes. The problem with most of the ReactOS team is that most of the effort has 
been 
focused on Qemu. None of our developers are interested in porting ReactOS to 
use 
the Hypercall stuff. We are still working on just making ReactOS stable <g>.
