Not true. The way Xen works, even the Dom0 OS needs to be modified so 
that it can run under the hypervisor; indeed, it needs heavier 
modifications than the DomUs do.
While Windows will run under Xen as a DomU once hardware virtualization 
support is available, I would be rather suprised if it could be used as 
a Dom0 even then without a quite considerable amount of work.
