Its Xen, not Zen. And it is not yet a part of the ON gate. Which means you don't get it 'out of the box' on opensolaris. But that should happen sometime very soon. And yes, Xen should help you run Windows and Solaris together. But I suppose a dual boot system should be able to solve your problem quite well.
