For windows 7 there are already, the "vista" build, I tested and know
working build version 238 and 308 on windows 7 pro 64 bit mainly systems on
dom0 Squeeze with kernel pvops and xen 4.0.x.
The only problem found for now is shutdown monitor service not installed on
some cause unknown.
About windows 8 not tested for now.
Sorry for bad english.
