Updating Xen for the Client environment
******
Intel & RedHat are joint developing a product that will enhance Xen to
operate on Client computers.  The goal is to create two separate
domains, a Service Operating System running Linux that owns specific
hardware and a User Operating System running Windows that owns the
bulk of the hardware.  The SOS will provide a backend device driver
that provides secure access to the frontend driver running on the UOS.

This talk will present an overview of the implemented architecture
with a discusson of some of the challenges and solutions required for
the Client environment.  Some of the areas of Xen that needed special
handling are memory layout, boot procedures, networking architecture,
power management and device virtualization.
