Dear all,

i'm mainly from the *ux world so i'm not very familiar with the current 
Microsoft world - but we are working with xen over many years in a *ix and 
purely open source environment.

Currently we has a discussion with a user who is planning to move some Win 2k3 
servers to 2k8 (eventually virtualized). 

So just btw:

What is the current state of Win2k8 64 bit (paravirtualized / PV drivers) under 
XEN? Is it ready for small (LAN) production environments? What experiences are 
there with Win2k8 64 bit on Xen (PV and/or HVM) related to questions like:
 - performance
 - stability
i.e. comparing with current vmware or other solutions (which do full 
virtualization only)?

Is XCP a recommended point to start from with Win2k8 or would your prefer to 
use xen 3.x or 4?

Many thanks in advance and 
Best regards,


Niels.
