Basically you want to be able to run an management app via Windows on
your laptop, but what is going to management it when your laptop is
not running?

If you are going to have multiple Xen hosts constant management is
needed for load balancing or in case of host failure. So you setup a
Windows guest/VM that manages the Citrix hosts. Concept wise it sounds
funny to run a manager on the platform it manages but this is quite a
common practice for high availability in VMWare and Citrix
environments.
