Hi Michael, FWIW, hyperv team and us are using the term "dom0" more and more to avoid confusion between windows root and linux root, as dom0 is always linux root. I did a quick search, and "dom0" is neither copyrighted nor trademarked by xen, and I'm sure the fine folks there won't be offended. Hopefully, [Hyper-V] tag would reduce the confusion. Just my $0.1 Thanks, -Mukesh
