RedHat / Xen do a very poor job of virtualizing windows and probably netware, among others, as well. It is in this regard that I need to look at alternatives.
So far VirtualIron which is based on Xen with Sles10 PV Drivers is the only real alternative to VMware.
I read that RHEL5.2 will include updated PV drivers but I expect that it will be a few more years untill we see any real advances in virtualization from RedHat Xen for proprietary systems. For linux guests it is a very good solution but we need windows.

NAME
xcp-xapi - XCP's XenAPI server
DESCRIPTION
The Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) is an open source enterprise-ready server virtualization and cloud computing platform, with support for a
range of guest operating systems, Linux network and storage support.
XCP addresses the needs of cloud providers, hosting services and data centers by combining the isolation and multitenancy capabilities of
the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage and network virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtual infrastructure
cloud services. The platform also address user requirements for security, availability, performance and isolation across both private and
public clouds.
XCP consolidates server workloads, enables savings in power, cooling, and management costs and thus contributing to environmentally sus-
tainable computing, an increased ability to adapt to ever-changing IT environments, an optimized use of existing hardware, and an improved
level of IT reliability.
This is the XenAPI server, which provides the control plane for XCP hosts and resource pools. To manage the XenAPI server, you should use
either the XML-RPC based API, the xe command line tool, or a graphical user interface such as OpenXenManager.
