Understanding that "The Xen hypervisor is a layer of software running directly on computer hardware replacing the operating system thereby allowing the computer hardware to run multiple guest operating systems concurrently." is Xen an operating system in the true sense of the term or is it an application that provides operating system like functionality?

  Just curious what users of this product feel Xen truly is.
