If I read correctly - the 5.2 release will have xen 3.0

Does that mean I will be able to run vista as guest operating system?
I seem to remember reading that vista could be run under xen 3.0

I have found instructions for installing XP under xen 3.0 in Debian, so I'm hoping it vista on CentOS 5.2 will also be possible ??

There's only a small handful of apps I need/want - but they don't do well under wine (IE garmin software for putting maps on my GPS) - and I don't want to dual boot.

Why not use vmware or virtualbox? Either would work fine. You would need
to do an install of Windows anyway into the virtual machine, right?

I agree 100% on the VMWare or VirtualBox suggestion - VirtualBox is free, and VMWare has VMWare-Server available for free (log into the localhost with the console and it's pretty similar to VMWare Workstation 5.x).

I use XEN at work for virtualizing servers as well as some test workstations that are hosted in the Datacenter on rack equipment, however for a virtualization solution on my workstation, I don't think XEN would be my first choice - although I do have XEN loaded in a CentOS and Fedora virtual that are living in VMWare-Server on my desktop here :-)
