altought Xen itself manages CPU, VM switches, RAM, PCI access, and a
few other things; other, more 'external' hardware (mainly block and
network devices) is managed by Dom0 processes.  There you benefit from
the wide hardware support of Linux, in contrast to the small selection
of drivers available to VMWare
