As an emerging trend, virtualization is more and more widely used in today's computing world. But, the introduc-tion of virtual machines bring trouble for the power man-agement (PM for short), since the operating system can not directly access and control the hardware as before. Solu-tions were proposed to manage the power in the server con-solidation case. However, such solutions are VMM-centric: the VMM gathers the PM decisions of the guests as hints, and makes the final decision to manipulate the hardware. These solutions do not fit well for the virtualized desktop environment, which is highly interactive with the users.
