I recently (last week) attended a seminar with Novell/SuSE/Xen
people here in Sweden, and after a bit of arm-twisting, they
admitted that they (read SLES = SuSE Linux Enterprise) are
planning to actually support Windows DomU's sometime late
quarter one next year. This was mentioned as one positive
(side-) effect of the recent Novell-Microsoft agreement
(or whatever it's called). At the same time they admitted to
the fact that there's no serious problems known at this time,
i.e. any recent Windows version should run just fine in a Xen
DomU (as is proved by lots of people on this list).

Mind you, I haven't had time to test it myself yet.

Just my 2 cents...
