The below statement is taken from the Xen wikipedia page. Are there ways to modify windows so that it can be installed or even run from a xen server that doesn't have virtualization extensions?

"unmodified versions of Microsoft Windows and other proprietary operating systems can also be used as guests if the CPU supports Intel VT or AMD V technologies"

The original Xen team did it, see Xen and the Art of Virtualization:

www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/papers/2003-xensosp.pdf

Unfortunately they were unable to release it due to licensing issues.

Cheers,
Todd
