The reason I asked is that I run an ISP, it would be spiffy to haveone machine that I can bring up multiple OS's fully functional to troubleshoot various issues customers have. Already have virtual machines for infrastructure but they are all Linux (CentOS or Scientific Linux).
This is pretty much the reason I dabbled with Windows on KVM -- for our tech support guys.
If I find any definitive information I'll share it. I hope one of us finds a solution!

Is there anyway to run a Windows machine as a virtual machine andhave

this working can you tell me what hardware, drivers, etc you are using?
Thank
you.
There's a driver other than the default video driver (Cirrus? I think)
that
is supposed to be quicker for Windows (I can't seem to find the
materials I
read months ago). In testing I found that this driver wouldn't support higher resolutions, so I abandoned it. I don't run Windows VMs in production, so I've not experimented much with it in KVM.
What I'm reading is that Direct-X support is iffy. [0] [1]

Maybe someone will speak up who has worked with Windows on KVM quite a
bit
more than I have.
