[TriLUG] WinXP in QEMU?

[David McDowell]

anyone have good success with WinXP Home/Pro in QEMU?? (I'll be trying
QEMU on CentOS 3.4 or 4.0 possibly).  CEO keeps having terrible
problems with her kids and her XP installation constantly crashing...
I've almost convinced her to try linux, but need to give her a way to
get to Microsoft Office and Quickbooks, figured a free VM is better
than paying for crossover or something.

How'd the networking and how's QEMU on allowing the VM to access the
local /home of the host OS?

Thanks,
David McD
