The hypervisor is a thin layer of software that runs at the hardware level of a system. This thin layer of open source software allows for operating systems to run on top of it, thus fully emulating the system platform and thereby allowing multiple operating environments to run in parallel on a single system.
"XenSource's technology threatens to loosen Microsoft's grip on the PC market, and open up the PC for non-MS software that runs in conjunction with Windows," said Martin Reynolds, group vice president and Gartner Fellow.
