Re: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.5 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

That was probably it.  2K8 comes with .net preinstalled, but 2k3 doesn't.  
What about the performance issues?  Are those the kind of numbers I should be 
expecting?  If they are, is there a way to install the shutdown monitor, but 
not install the disk drivers?

Also the shutdown monitor won't work.  I'm getting "The application 
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the 
application."
