Hi There,

I have a couple of (potentiallyy stupid) questions regarding running Xen on a 
VT-enabled CPU.

  1.) I have heard it mentioned that one can run "unmodified" versions of the 
Linux OS.  Does this mean that the DomU can use it's own kernel (i.e., 
instead of the Xen-specific compiled one)?

  2.) For those of you that are running Windows under Xen, how are you finding 
it's performance?  Is it fairly close to "native" speed?  What sort of issues 
do you find with it?

Thanks!

-Alan
