What is it?
Wasn't there a problem because Xen requires the windows image to be modified
so that it can be a guest on Xen and M$ cried foul saying it flouted their
licence? And Xen has stopped supporting Windows since then?!
Yup, Thats one of the primary reasons and differences between how
para/full virtualization works, windows domU can only be used in full
virtualization mode.
Xen and MSFT guys are working together to develop Interoperability :

I dont see any advantages for linux as such, microsoft can see the
heat and wants there customer to run para virtualized VM on top of
longhorn, xensource guys are helping them for obvious reasons. All x86
processor coming from intel/AMD will have VT/SVM in built, so i dont
see any issue of run windows on top of xen.
