My question is how soon could someone be able to use Xen and have dom0 autoboot into something like a Windows XP installation (running on the console) and can still manage VMs and manage them in the hypervisor? I would like to leverage a hypervisor for managing VMs on a system with a lot of memory and still want to use it as a workstation with native, or close-to-native graphics acceleration not login through remote desktop/VNC.

The documentation for doing this is confusing and there appears to be a limitation to the graphics drivers that allow that. Last time I did the investigation it seems ATi drivers had some hurdles that prevents a smooth installation. The other requirement is VT-d but that's more easily taken care of by purchasing the right chipset and CPU.

I missed your point until I was watching the Nova documentary that discussed the subject.

1. The person used Kermit to transfer his data and Cliff Stoll measured the packet delay.
2. His initial data for the latency was 3 seconds and he used this delay to calculate that the individual was somewhere on the moon.
