For those of you who don't like high licence fees and usage |
| 11 |
restrictions, the Xen virtual machine monitor is GPL software and can |
| 12 |
run Linux or FreeBSD guest operating systems. It features direct PCI |
| 13 |
device access and full hardware emulation at near native speeds. There |
| 14 |
are rumors that it'll run Windows as a guest in future versions. |
