AW: [Xen-users] PV- Drivers for Windows (XP, 2003 Server)

[Feichtinger Günter <Feichtinger.Guenter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

After I have read them, I wonder if anybody use Windows guest in OpenSource- 
Xen enviroment for productiv-systems.
Because without PV drivers IO- and network performance is not really the best.
