You can use VMware for free. You must download it from the official 
site, then you make the virtual PC with the workstation, then you start 
the virtual PC with VMware Player, which is free.
I didn't used Xen, but on the openSUSE is a tutorial about how to use 
it. [1]
I used qemu, and I also made a tutorial on how to set up it with the 
qemu acceleration module. [2]
