[Xen-users] Re: How to run Windows on Xen 3.0 with VT

To what avail?
Being able to install unmodified non-graphical (server)systems is a fine thing; graphical systems like W2K3/XP is another talk.
No Xen-aware video drivers are available.

Yes, but basic VGA hardware emulation (borrowed from QEMU, IIRC) *is*. It doesn't perform well enough for gamers or the like, but for servers it should be fine.

Xen-aware drivers are only necessary if you're actually looking for performance.
