I'm embarrassed to say that I use a Windows machine as my main machine. Cygwin has reached the point where, with care, you can ssh into Fedora and use most x-based applications. I recommend against trying to import the desktop. I import windows (small w). As to sharing speakers, it's an iffy business, no matter what. If you have a modern machine, running Linux virtual under windows is also an attractive option. XP lives on for me as a virtual machine. Bottom line for me: I have given up on KVM and use the various network and virtual options to share.
