Re: [Xen-devel] Interest in running ReactOS and Windows under Xen

Definitely.  Eventually the Vanderpool support should enable this.

Last I heard, it was thought that it *might* be possible to get Windows to run 
under Xen on non-VT hardware but I don't think anyone here has anywhere near 
the spare cycles required to investigate this/

A ReactOS port has been mentioned before - it's a good idea but needs 
volunteers to make it happen.  As you say, a nice benefit is that code 
related to the ReactOS port (e.g. the virtual device drivers) could be reused 
for Windows.

Cheers,
