Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Xen, vmware and XP/W2K3
> Is it possible to run vmware for XP and W2K3 on top of an xen setup?

VMware has kernel modules that must run in ring 0 (I know of vmnet and
vmmon), so as far as I have understood it, it is not possible. See also

.

Running unmodified guests is (I think) a design goal of 3.x but it will
require hardware support (Vanderbilt CPUs). See also
