That's not true what you're saying.

Same is with XenSource - just download XenExpress, it's something 
comparable to VMware server, and like its competitor, it includes 
paravirtual Windows drivers.

What some of us want though, are PV Windows drivers that could work with 
Xen built from sources. These drivers don't have to be free, and some of 
us would be glad to pay for them.

Yet another reason why someone would like to pay just for PV drivers, 
but not for the whole XenServer / XenEnterprise / SLES / whatever.
