I should restate my question as: Currently the hypervisor for Windows OS is available for download (as XP/Vista/7 are supported). How about the (KXen) hypervisor for Linux? When is it available? And will that target upstream, and use virtops? And is there any significant difference with KVM? I guess the answer will be "that is not ready now", but some information about future plan would be helpful.
