Hello, I just wanted to give some feedback for QEMU's supportes OSes. I've
successfully installed Windows XP Home incl. SP2 within QEMU 0.6.1. I'm
running on AMD64, Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r6 (64bit). I have an Athlon64 3000+,
1GB RAM (384MB for QEMU) and WinXP runs actually pretty fast, not as fast as
within VMware, but imho it's *very* useable. I got some graphics errors at
first, but these seem to have disappeared after I chose the Windows "classic"
design and 1024x768.
If I can help somehow with more info, some tests etc. please mail me! I'm
really surprised how well QEMU works, congrats for this app!! If it continues
to work that well, I'll say bye to VMware soon :-)
Tom

Actually, 0.6.1 is a bit behind with the current development. The
reason it doesn't seem to be as fast as VMware is because you're
actually _emulating_ a PC. VMware (and KQEMU with the later 0.6.2 CVS)
uses acceleration, that is it uses the raw hardware itself and does no
emulation.
