OK -- I think what I really need is just one person to be a 
point-of-contact, who can give updates on progress.  Shall I put you 
down for that, or should I find out who at Intel is working on it?

OK -- Ian C said he'd be the primary point of contact for this one until 
Wei gets back; if you or Annie want to be the contact directly, let me

Stefano Panella is on the XenClient team at Citrix.  I think he probably 
knows about the previous work, but I'll make sure.  One thing I know 
he's been particularly concerned about is audio latency, particularly 
with using GoToMeeting or Skype inside a VM.
