    Red Hat has announced that the next rev of their commercial OS offering,
    RHEL 5, will include Xen as a major component.

    With the right CPUs (late model Intel only at the moment), you can run
    an OS unmodified with a little higher overhead. This means you can run
    Windows on the same box as Linux on the same box as *BSD, all at the
    same time. Later this year, AMD's CPUs will add a similar (but
    different) extension.
