The ACPI implementation in qemu is v1.0.  Vista wants at least ACPI 2.0.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-11/msg00255.html

  qemu 0.9.0 moves the ACPI tables into the bochs bios where they belong
- should be just a matter of updating these tables and other misc code.

  Although IIRC ACPI doesn't work very well with KVM/KQEMU at the moment
for other reasons.
