AFAIK microsoft is releasing Linux drivers for their virtualization solution
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10290686-16.html

While Redhat releases windows PV drivers for KVM
http://saviorodrigues.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/kvms-windows-virtualization-driver-news-is-overhyped/

RH's drivers might be adaptable to Xen, but AFAIK James Harper's GPLPV
has been more widely used and tested.
