I think the plan is for WinXP and Win2K3 Server to run...  WinXP certainly 
runs under VT now, although there are still fixes and optimisations necessary 
to get things where we want them.

In theory, other Windows versions (and other random OSes) ought to work. 
Certainly, I think the Linuxes and BSDs are known to work happily.  Some 
people will probably want to run ancient Windows versions on Xen in order to 
migrate really old servers to a new machine.

Intel are certainly planning to support 32-bit VTX on a 64-bit host - somebody 
from AMD would have to comment on their plans for this (if they can at this 
stage).

Cheers,
Mark
