I must say that I have not found this to be the case, at least not on version 
0.8.2.  W2k installs ok (provided it is an early service pack version) but if 
you want to have the latest service packs and updates then it is essential to 
use an accelerator.  I use Qemu to run AutoCAD LT 2006 which, if I remember 
rightly, requires the .NET Framework, hence the need for windows update to 
work.  After having wasted an awful lot of time trying to get updates to work 
without an accelerator, I eventually caved in and installed kqemu.  Since 
doing this I haven't had a problem with Qemu and the speed is perfectly 
acceptable on my 3 GHz Xeon with 1 GB of RAM.  The networking is seemless too 
using the tap device.  I have no experience of any other virtualisation 
software but for me Qemu is great.
