Indeed, this would be very nice. So until there are paravirtualized drivers,
the performance won't get as good as VMware? I'm currently installing a new
server and yet not decided to go with Xen or Vservers + VMware Server
(beta). Last one seems to have very good performance, but I'd rather use
Xen instead.
Though, the Windows (2003 Web Server) will not be very busy (for now) so it
might be worth using it for the time being, until stuff gets optimized. My
only concern is if the current HVM image will work with upcoming features,
such as paravirtualized drivers..
