It is a nice looking site but outside my sphere of interests.

I don't know, every topic under the sun appears here at one time or another. A
bit like Piccadilly Circus. Of where it is said, "If you stand there long enough
you will see everyone that you have ever met". :)

It was 'bout a year ago, when I raised Xen to operate 3 Linux-servers at 
work. Back then it would've been possible to run unmodified guests if 
the hw would've supported hvm (the "old" DL380G4 I was using didn't, but 
it ain't a problem, since running Linux's on it is enough for us.

And yes, as someone (Andrew?) had said, dom0 (privileged OS) needs to be 
aware of Xen and Linux is one of possibilities (IIRC some BSD's can do 
this also). But if this wasn't the case, there would need to be 
hardware-based controlling for the hypervisor, since it has to be 
controllable. I'll give a guess: HyperV needs Windows as privileged OS. 
I'll also give a question: can HyperV run unmodified guests? I'd guess 
yes with hvm, but if someone *knows*, let me also know :).
