xen

Has anyone here used xen to run a vm to run windows in linux. I have dual monitors,pain to set up X, and thought it would be cool to run windows on one screen and linux with the other. Thought about using wine but i think i would have to install windows again? Just need to run windows because some of my classes use internet sites that require explorer, total bs.

Also any inputs for the DRM in vista i have heard it is horable, definatly not going to downgrade to vista. I think microsoft took drm too far from what i here, it would be like Honda putting a governor at 70 on a 1krr so you couldn't speed:mad: . Soes Anyone think that microsoft got some money form film companies and the music industry for the DRM, because i can't see why people would want it. If people don't want it then how can microsoft make money, other than the "monopoly"? Maybe it will push more people to look at linux? The only thing that i think looks cool in vista is the 3d tabs, but beryl is way better.

I think there might be some fellow "geeks" here?
thanks for any input on xen.

if you use linux what distro?

to anybody wondering what beryl is, just found this

I'm a SUSE fan, and have used Xen, but for Windoze, you'd probably get better performance and support out of VMWare. You can download and install the free VMWare Server and use that if you don't want to pony up ~$150 for Workstation (or find 'alternative' methods of registration). While Xen 3 works fine for virtualized Linux installs, it doesn't seem so Win-friendly. Maybe a few more revisions and it'll be there.

I administer about 350 SLES9/10 servers and run OpenSUSE 10.2 on various desktop and laptop machines, both here at work and at home.
