the various hypervisors are incompatible with each other and with clients designed for each other.

there have been proposals to change this, but they were not accepted (good old NIH from every other virtualizaion project, among other things)

however this really isn't relavent to the topic of drivers being available for windows to let it run on a Xen modified Linux system.

I agree and apologise.

But it could be relevant for something like ReactOS on KVM/Xen/Linux. Run Linux drivers instead of windows ones.

ReactOS could already run anywhere it wants to. It's open source, and so can be readily modified to run where desired.
