is xen capable of starting virtual machines when a domain user logs in his computer?

the most ideal solution would be at boot connecting to a virtual machine which is registered at the domain, so the user doesn't even notice he's using something virtual...

What you might benefit from is a Xen farm where a bunch of virtual Windows machines run. Actually, it might be better to run a Windows Terminal Server, since running Windows workstations virtually is quite expensive license wise. Next you use something like LTSP to have old machines boot with PXE and connect immediately with RDP to the Terminal Servers.
