Main difference is, that ale these virtual machines share common computing 
power, so there's "new" room to "unwanted" computing power consumption from the 
compromised DomU, that may affect other DomUs and tasks assigned to them (the 
degree depends on configs of vcpus, schedulers etc.) and logically virtual 
machines are more vulnerable to DOS attacks.

Subject: [Xen-users] If a DomU was compramised..

If a DomU was compramised, could the Dom0 or other DomUs be compramised?
 
I guess I'm trying to work out how much isolated Xen gives..
 
Thanks
