Uhm, just to get clear in this topic,
the great work of James is not that useful as it supposed in this 
thread. It leaks reliable support for exactly those Windows Versions 
with best Hyper-V integrations.
So there is the choice to exploit Hyper-V guest integration services or 
absolutely ugly hacking around in a win2008 x64 guest policies with a 
real great chance to get the guest perfectly and unrecoverable meshed up.
So it would be great at least to have things like shutdown notification 
out of the box, as it will be with an viridian interface implementation.

Again if xen provides a feature using viridian API win2008 x64 guests 
would use it without ANY modification.
