Citrix plans to enter the hosted hypervisor space with XenWorkstation
There are 2 main types of hypervisors - bare metal and hosted. Hosted hypervisors (like VMware Workstation/Server, Microsoft Virtual PC/Server, Parallels Workstation, etc.) require a host OS. Hosted hypervisors are more of an application you install on an OS and rely on the OS as a layer of access to hardware. It looks like Citrix is trying to enter the hosted hypervisor space with a product called XenWorkstation. There aren’t many details about XenWorkstation, but virtualization.info is reporting that it may be released soon and will run on Windows and Mac OS X hosts.
