Hi, I really don't know much about Xen or really much of anything when it comes right down to it but,

I am working at a place that is running Xen and they have several window XP virtualizations running.  They just created me an XP machine for some work I have to do.  It seems to work just fine.

I asked and they said that all it takes is that the processors be virtual machine aware.
