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.
