Yes, I'm well aware if the ringstructure in x86, and the possibilities 
with Intel's Vanderbilt /AMD's Pacifica HW support.
I was too quick to ask without RTFM
Should've read about the roadmap WRT the HW virtualisetion support.

I'll have to use my testrig for running MS services within vmware until 
v.3 comes out.
