Hello,
I've already learned
from this list that running Windows on top of XEN will not be possible soon (or
ever).
However, I would
like to propose the idea of running XEN on top of Windows. That is, instead of
having XEN being an hypervisor (a la VMWare ESX Server) one could have XEN
working as a virtualization layer running on top of Windows (a la VMWare
Workstation). One could then run multiple instances of the efficient
(paravirtualized) ports of Linux or BSD on XEN, in parallel with windows
applications.
Would the new XEN
2.0 driver architecture ease the sharing of the windows drivers with the
XEN domains (providing some driver conversion layer is
provided)?
