Using Xen Virtualization to install Windows 7 in openSUSE 11.1  

According to the openSUSE official release, you can install Xen related packages to implement virtual machine function. It's easy to install and use for me even VMware Workstation was my favorite VM software before. Actually, this is because the VMware updated version have to reconfigure when I upgraded it.
Here are the simple steps you can follow to make sure your installation is correct and ready to work.

Step 1: Select YaST Control Center-> Virtualization-> Install Hypervisor and Tools to install Xen



Step 2: After installation you have to reboot your machine



Step 3: Now, you can click Create Virtual Machines to choose which operation system you want to install



Step 4: If you want to install Windows 7, please choose Windows Vista or Windows (other) as below



Step 5: Now, you have to click Operating System Installation to define Installation Source such as CDROM or Disk image, and then click OK to create the VM



Step 6: Here you can see the install process in this step



Step 7: Finally, you can click Virtual Machine Manager option to run or open VM
