Joseph:
OK, so the drivers are paravirtualized, not the entire OS. I think I get it.
Thanks, Neil

I thought I have seen a lot of discussion about running paravirtualized Windows on CentOS. Is that a bad idea?
It's not a bad idea, it's just not a possible one :) What you have seen is talk of the paravirt *drivers* that you use in an HVM domain to improve the otherwise useless performance. As windows is not opensource, the Xen guys have not been able to write code on their side to paravirtualize it...
However, there has been some agreements done with Windows Server 2008 and "Enlightenments" but I haven't followed it.
Setup an HVM, install windows, and give James Harpers GPLPV Drivers a go.
