XP as a Xen guest in SLED10
Yep, definitely works. Used the tutorial from opensuse.org: en.opensuse.org/Xen_Full_Virtualization_Example
Some hardware details. This requires a VT-enabled processor such as the Intel Pentium D 9xx series, or an AMD with the Pacifica extensions (don't go looking for one because it hasn't shipped yet! Unless of course you are willing to shell out the shekels for the FX-62 Socket AM2 version.) A Xen Linux kernel. In this instance I'm running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and installed Xen during the setup. Make sure Xen is 3.02. Make sure your Linux distro can start an X session when you boot into the Xen kernel. An Intel graphics controller will always work because the driver is Open Sourced. I haven't been successful in getting the ATI binary drivers to work in SUSE and I don't have an Nvidia card. I'm actually using a Matrox Parhelia APVe PCIe. After a couple of weeks of false starts (and a updated Matrox release last week) I finally was able to get the Matrox drivers working. So, there it is, Windows XP running as a Xen guest. Networking is working, too.
