Ongoing Development
Windows under Xen is still immature, but it's already developed far enough to be useful. Using Xen, you can consolidate Windows servers in a robust, manageable platform and run client software in a native environment on the desktop. You have a reasonable way of accessing the machine via the framebuffer or rdesktop, and finally you have PV drivers for reasonable speed.
All in all, Xen is quite a good platform for Windows. Not perfect, but certainly usable.
