PV is only possible with operating systems that provide PV DomU functionality / hooks / drivers - i.e. Linux, NetBSD (may be Solaris? never tried that) with Xen (PV) support in kernel.

Not relevant as I never suggested to install anything else than Linux in
Dom0.

Note "DomU" above. Without hardware virtualisation support, you can only run PV guests - eg Linux etc. Since the source for Windows isn't available, and MS haven't seen fit to support Windows as a Xen PV guest, then you can't run OSs like Windows without hardware virtualisation support.

Unfortunately, such support isn't as ubiquitous as an earlier comment suggested.
