I've been wondering if the techniques that colinux uses to run Linux
inside windows could also be used to make Xen in Windows possible.

I'm sure you could take the xen dom0<->domU interface and use
it to allow domU's to be run on top of win32 (or the NT kernel, or
any other kernel, for that matter).  If you didn't want to interpret
the cpu instructions you would need a little hook in the native kernel
to catch trap instructions and handle page faults.  If you wanted to
emulate the cpu (ie. bochs/flex86/qemu) you could directly provide
a xen "machine."  Definitely not a trivial undertaking, though.
