I think it is possible to run Dom0 of Xen on the top of Windows, without VT.
The biggest issue would be not technical one, but just who will do it.
So, we are welcome if you would port Xen to Windows using "Cooperative
Virtual Machine" technology, which Dan Aloni has invented. But dont expect
we will do it, especially under the situation that we realize that once VT
becomes major, CVM becomes obsolete. And paravirtualization, which is the key
point of Xen in the technological aspect also would become obsolete, although
Xen has hopeful future in business aspect.
