-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hardware is still abstracted out. You get really good CPU performance but I am not sure about the rest of the system , particularly your video and sound cards. My understanding is that Windows drivers need direct access to the hardware, but since I don't really care I have not looked in to this :)
Also, these CPUs are available today. The Core 2 chips support it, as do some of the latest AMD AM2 (apparently the Turion in my laptop has the virtualization support, but Xen has not quite got the support for AMD "Pacifica" yet). Also, power management, CPUFreq (aka Speedstep or Powernow) are broken in Xen the last time I checked.
