    it is a hypervisor rather than a virtual machines. Other OSes run at a much lower level and have better access to the hardware. At the moment it's difficult to use it with Windows (if at all possible) because a patch is required which can't legally be distributed.

    No, that's not true. Xen comes with SLED/SLES but it also comes on RHEL 5 and Solaris 10. I've also heard it will come with Debian Etch, too. It can be installed on pretty much any Linux distro and I've seen BSD's running it too.
