Not very impressive from them though... they've gone out of their way to 
avoid 'supporting' virtualisation.  The CPU supports it by default - 
they've actively switched it off.
Sounds like a marketing trick to charge a premium to put the support 
back in.  Same board, HVM switched on... $50 extra.
