Any GPL software can be used for business. No exeptions and restrictions apply only to redistribution of modified versions.
I know that Qemu runs fine under under XP, it might be very interesting if that folder sharing thing worked fine :) VirtualBox runs 100% on any windows. Surely VboxOse compiles on windows, but it might not be so easy. I am sure that poking around, a precompiled version must be available somewhere (that is not a GPL violation....) But the simples might be to use VirtualPC, from... Microsoft itself.
