[Xen-devel] running Windows (albeit slowly)

["Eric S. Johansson" <esj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

forgive me if this has been beaten to death but I've been thinking again 
about the problem of running Windows as a guest OS under xen.  I 
understand and accept all the arguments of why you need to modify the 
core OS for your virtualization process.
Under the opinion that there is no crime if optimization fails on 
incorrect code, would it not be appropriate to do all the things 
necessary to run Windows unmodified albeit poorly slash slowly?
assuming of course that people want to run Windows.  The only reason I 
do is because of speech recognition requirements but that's a very 
different conversation.
of course, Linux would continue to run at its normal speed.
