Folks
I have a new laptop running Centos 6.2 64-bit. I'd like to put a virtual machine running Windows 7 (licensed), with full audio/video functions, and good response. Which virtual system would you recommend? I can think of KVM, or VirtualBox, or ...?
The "good response" requirement pretty much excludes a web-style video presentation.
Opinions solicited.

I have great performance with KVM running windows guests using the virtio storage drivers. Below is how I do it (on clusters, normally, but should be easy to adapt for a single-machine host):

+1 for KVM/virt-manager/virtio. I need to look further into Spice, but now I use rdesktop which gives me file sharing and sound.
