Thread-topic: News - Microsoft Submits Drivers for Paravirtualization

I don’t normally news-post, cross-post, or even post to devel at all, but I thought this was quite interesting.

 

Apparently, Microsoft submitted 20,000 lines of device driver code for inclusion in the staging kernel.  Perhaps this is a step towards paravirtualized Windows guests in Xen?  That would be quite compelling.
