My suggestion:

Did you follow some Howto for the Suse+Windows installation? If not,
could you think of writing one with screen shots included? Such a
practical howto and getting started is just what most of the many
current  "dual-boot users" need to be able to startup with Xen for
running Linux+Windows.

I think many average Linux/Windows users (included myself) are very
interested to try out Xen just for this Linux+Windows installation and
setup on their desktop or workstation. But they don't know how to start
and how to do it, and I haven't seen a practical Howto for it yet. Also
most of potential average users neither understand much of the
discussion and technical terms on this list on beforehand; though it may
be useful for them in the next phase having a working installation and
setup to relate it to.

Rgds,

Terje J. Hanssen
