Well, yes. But that was also in the times before the DMCA and other
similar gimmicks arrived. These days, the legal situation is
sufficiently unclear to make this a dangerous task. Also, with the
constant flow of Windows updates, who knows how often MS patches the
kernel and the QEMU patch would need to be rewritten. I'd say it's
definitely not worth the hassle. But that's just my 2 cents ;).
