AFAIK, Xen will be able to support Windows only on Vanderpool-enabled 
CPUs.
Xen is currently unable to virtualize Windows without hardware support 
from the CPU. Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Plan9 can be virtualized since 
the source code is free, available and modifiable, and modifications to 
the source code are currently required to support a OS to be run under 
Xen.
