I think its not the effort that is missing, but $amount_of_money that has
to go to Redmond for this.
I don't see a conflict here.
Just include it in price.
Besides, do you think that every company which wrote a Windows driver
has to pay Microsoft for each person who uses that driver? It's hard for
me to believe.
We're running a custom Xen installation here, which is based on
open-source 3.1 (and we used earlier versions of open source Xen, too).
[...]
If someone offered Windows PV drivers for a reasonable amount of money
per virtualized Windows machine, we'd be glad to throw VMware away, and
use Xen for everything we virtualize.
AFAIK novell offers the drivers as payware, if its not too wired into
the xen 3.0.4+patches they use for sles10sp1 maybe you can also stick with
all your current xen-setup and just use the para-drivers additionally.
I think it only works with SLES.
Which honestly, we don't need - we can support ourselves just fine.
