because, AFAIK, xen doesn't run windows under a linux host
with xen.  Using qemu/kqemu, you could (assuming it actually
works) run a windows session under qemu in a xen session.

If qemu with the kqemu module can run under xen, this
alleviates part of the pressure of getting xen to run
windows under a linux host.

just for the record, xen is a virtual machine monitor,
not an emulator, and strictly speaking, neither is QEMU
(which is a hybrid of binary translator and harware
 simulator)

but of course, it will also kill the good performance
xen could have with a windows support (which already
worked, but is very unlikely to work in the future, as
it requires M$ to adapt their OS to the xen architecture)
