You can CERTAINLY (as I've mentioned before) use USB-drives from
Windows, but they won't appear as a USB device from Windows itself, they
will appear like a hard-drive. If you actually want USB functionality
(as in the ability to plug things in and unplug again without suing
"tricks", then you will need USB-device-handling within Xen, which I
think is the point of bugzilla 906).

You can't google just for bugzilla 906 or at least not to find just one
bug... That's like googling for "17 High Street" without specifying a
town - you'll find one in just about every town in England. Xen Bugzilla
is on http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/index.cgi
