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.
