It may have changed since I last tried. But getting decent performance
out of your graphics card whilst running Xen is pretty difficult.
Since one of the requirements was to run a Windows based game I'm
guessing running Windows as a Xen instance may not be the way to go.
If hrdware acceleration is not an issue then I agree virtualization
may be the "easiest" way to get Windows compatibility...
