RE: [Xen-users] windows server on xen in production?

["Randy McAnally" <rsm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use the Citrix drivers on XenServer in production and the performance is 
very, very good.  Equal CPU performance for single CPU, but much better than 
GPLPV for multi CPU.  Network and disk performance is better than GPLPV in 
all cases.  And most importantly, they never, ever crash.
