Re: [Xen-users] Re: Xen 4.0 - Support for Citrix WHQL-certified Windows

No, I don't like testsigning - this is the main reason why I want to use
Citrix driver. GPLPV driver works fine for me and if there would be a way 
to use it without testsigning on, I would be happy with it.

Thanks for your advice anyway:)

Regards,

Roman
