After downloading the demo CD, I was reading this page http://www.xensource.com/solutions/server_consolidation.html and the images there gave an impression that Xen is capable of running Linux, Windows, and Solaris guest OS. Does the current Xen stable release (or any version supported by Xensource) already capable of doing this? Or is this a feature that we can expect in future releases?

They keep saying they''re gonna support Xen, so I guess we''ll see the code at some point - they may just want to announce it at some commercially significant time like a developer conference, new release, trade show, etc. It *ought* to run unmodified under VT/Pacifica mode anyhow, but I don''t know if anyone has got this working.
