-Xen is a virtual machine monitor or hypervisor for x86 hardware
+Xen is a hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor) for x86 hardware
 (i686-class or higher), which supports running multiple guest
-operating systems on a single physical machine.  With Xen, one uses
-the Xen kernel to control the CPU, memory and console, a dom0
-operating system which mediates access to other hardware (e.g., disks,
-network, USB), and one or more domU operating systems which operate in
-an unprivileged virtualized environment.  IO requests from the domU
-systems are forwarded by the hypervisor (Xen) to the dom0 to be
-fulfilled.

 Xen supports two styles of guests.  The original is Para-Virtualized
 (PV) which means that the guest OS does not attempt to access hardware
