A hypervisor a software system that provides seperation between protection realms. It also handles exceptions and "system calls" on behalf of the other protection realms. I personally don't see the difference at all. And since many hypervisors even do cpu scheduling, the fundamental differences converge to almost nothing. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
