It's not really vserver like, but definately an only execution 
environment:

Colinux, http://colinux.sourceforge.net/ allows you to run linux guest
operating systems right in windows. It's basically a kernel patch to
the Linux kernel that allows it to run as a windows process.

It works really well if you don't need to be in a virtualized hardware
environment. Like VMware it allocates disk space and RAM so it's not
as lightweight as Linux Vserver but it's a lot more resource friendly
(IMHO) than VMWare.

Sorry, I should have been more precise in my original posting. I already 
have used VMware and wondered if there was a VServer-like (only 
execution environment, not full-blown hardware emulation) alternative on 
Windows.

no, Xen will alway (per design) be at a different level/layer
where the entire machine is virtualized and a separate kernel
has to be run for each guest ...

best,
Herbert

PS: it's pretty complementary to Linux-VServer

VMware or MS Virtual Server are not identical to Linux VServer, as they
virtualize a full machine and not only an execution environment for the
applications. But perhaps it is a solution for Gerhard ?

Something similar to VMware and Virtual Server : soon Xen 3 with Intel VT 
or AMD Pacifica processors ?
