Hmmm -- I was under the impression (from when I last looked at Xen)
that you can't use it to run Windows on a Linux host, since the
modifications required (and implemented in their private version
by the Xen developers) require knowledge of proprietary Windows
code, and the Xen team, for that reason, do not distribute a
Windows-capable version.

Have things changed?

Best wishes,
Ted.
