Using the beta opensource parvirt drivers? Performance would be unacceptable
otherwise. On that note, my environment would not permit the unstable nature
of such an exercise...

RDP will be way faster, not to mention using vnc provides access to the
console which won't have video performance needed.

There's nothing cooler than Xen, but IMHO opinion I would be using something
a bit more stable for Windows guests, it's not the right tool for >this< job
as far as I am concerned.

YMMV
