Hi! Yep, you're right, vmware/virtualbox have a pretty much "out-of-box" setup But i do really enjoy qemu :)
BTW, dunno if it helps but i have a licensed version of windows 98 just the original manual with the serial number, lost the cd I can send it to you Also, for windows xp, maybe you could try the reactos http://www.reactos.org/ an opensource implementation of windows based on wine See Ya!
