According to my experience, qemu (with kqemu installed) under Linux on ThinkPad
R40 was as fast as a friend's bare metal when running WinXP, IE, Word, and the
occasional VisualDev. I guess that with modern systems which have the vt cpu
extension, kvm+qemu would be a free, open, and competitive choice.
