Hello everyone,

I realize this question may be frequently asked. I’d like to assure you that I did as much research as I could myself before resorting to mailing this list ☺.

I need to run Xen with a DomU guest OS being windows 7. My understanding is that I need Xen 4.0 in order to do this. I have a system to build exclusively for this purpose. My question for everyone is, what is the *easiest* choice of host OS for running Xen4.0. Here is what I have tried/researched.

Why would you need Xen 4.0 to virtualize Windows 7? I don't run Windows 7 but I don't see a technical reason why you'd need a specific version of Xen.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two problems.
