I'd not heard of that before. Just reading the sites http://www.xen.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen now :-) See Ya (when bandwidth gets better ;-) Chris Eastwood Photographer, Programmer Motorcyclist and dingbat blog: http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/ please remove undies for reply      |

One is if your motherboard supports the hardware virtualization featurs (look them up on Xen source pages). You don't get the performance benefit of para-virtualization, but it works well, and is a big part of the commercial basis for Xensource's business products. The other is to use the new GPL para-virtualization drivers for Windows, which I suspect are not stable yet. |
