Just wondering, why does this need to be a project?

It sounds like you're configuring a domU to run Windows here, which we
believe should work just fine[1] (the analogy, is that we don't have a
special project to run Solaris 10 domUs on OpenSolaris - it just
works)  

What deliverables are you planning that would really require the
resources (and overhead!) of an OpenSolaris project?


On the other hand, bug reports about xVM domUs (whatever the OS) or the
OpenSolaris dom0 are always welcome, and the xen community would also
really appreciate any corrections or additions to the existing
documentation on our web pages - http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen

Keep up the good work! :-)

	cheers,
