Yes, it is if your hardware permits it. Did you bother to read the Xen
wiki?

Lots of people who read the Wiki, as the how-to's on the wiki detail ...

Read the wiki .. , www.xensource.com is a great place to start ..

I think you've illustrated a problem and I'm not quite sure what can be
done about it. Many people are putting up tutorials, documentation on
their own personal wikis which gets into search engines, sometimes on
top of XenSource depending on the SEO efforts of the webmaster.

Then, they never bother to update the information, some of it is not
even dated. People go to Google, find this information and get instantly
confused.

You'll find this list is very helpful and open / friendly to anyone who
has at least *tried* something and shows obvious signs of reading the
Xen wiki. Indications of this would be :

"I tried to install Windows as a HVM guest as outlined in this howto
(link..) , but its failing because of this error (log snippet), did I
follow an old tutorial or something? Where did I go wrong?"

... is good.

"Does windows run on top of Xen?"

... not good.

In other words : go read the wiki

Best,
-Tim
