This isn't just the fact as of this release. Xen is based on Qemu which can run e.g. Win7 paravirtualized on the same machine obtaining complete gfx or othe pci(-e) devices and run almost full speed. I am curious about the impact now that it is even faster.
- robot 14y agoIs that really paravirtualization? How does Xen run a binary OS as paravirtualized?
- ibrahima 14y agoI think you're right and the guy you replied to misspoke. Xen running Windows is called HVM which seems to be distinct from paravirtualization.
- OGC 14y agoHow does, say, Photoshop perform?
- 4ad 14y agoXen is not based on QEMU. Xen can use QEMU for emulating some devices when doing full virtualization, but when doing paravirtualization (most useful case) it doesn't use QEMU at all.
