Personally I found Qemu astonishingly easy to use, and simply not
needing a lot of documentation to get an OS installed from CD into it.
A couple of hours after installing Qemu, having never used it before,
I had a working virtual machine running CentOS, installed from a set
of virtual CDs. An hour later, kqemu (the accelerator) was installed
and working.
I was most impressed by how easy it was and how little I had to tweak.
But then I wasn't trying to run Windows inside it.
Is Windows harder to install in it than some random Linux distro?
