Well as has been pointed out before there are several sets of closed source PV drivers around from XenSource, VirtualIron and other companies. So there are clearly resources to write PV drivers for Windows, just no one who is yet committed to open sourcing them for the benefit of the whole Xen userbase / community :-(

Or, heck, even if the drivers were just available for no cost.. doesn't necessarily have to be open source if there are licensing issues for that.
