    one of the things that xen does also help is running WINE so much better. You might get some incompatibility problems but generally it's much better.

    Also, combined with other code like emulators it can even go further than just virtualizing x86 software.

    How exactly does Linux in a VM run Wine better than Linux not in a VM?
