Why should the MS EULA deny you the installation as a XEN Guest? As long as you don't have to modify the kernel (so in paravirt mode), you are allowed to install Windows on virtual machines. You just need one license per virtual machine you install; you're not used to reuse a license in several virt/phys machines.

Not the installation, but posting the modifications that were needed to get Windows running under XEN.
