Folks,

Just out of curiosity, two questions about Xen project,

First, I happen to know the word "Xen" is used in two ways: a) 'Xen' - Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/)

b) 'Xen' - programming language unites C#, XML and SQL programming languages. (http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,4248,1441416,00.asp)

Both are coming from University of Cambridge as far as I understand, so I nearly sure both have the same roots. It would be nice anybody could tell me the relationships between different 'Xen's.

Second, I know 'VMM-Xen' is working with Microsoft Research to bring XenWindowsXP, and also, the 'C#-Xen' is a product from Univ-Cambridge and Microsoft Research.

Speaking about 'VMM-Xen' (and Xenoservers) project, is there any "position paper" kind-of-thing regarding the direction for the open-source and proprietary products release plan? Questions might be:- - I don't mind XenWindows is not gonna be open source, but what else can be proprietary if any? - Is there any plan to develop proprietary softwares which support VMM-Xen and realtive projects?

I'm sorry it can be political question easily, but it's grateful if I would be able to know the future plan of the product licensing around this project.

Best regards, Latte <lat@heron.spreadwings.to>
