When I got a server with too much RAM for the free version of ESXi, I
copied over a vmdk disk image from a windows guest and can't really
tell the difference with it running under KVM. The only issue I have
is that when running the GUI console in a freenx/NX session the mouse
pointer is way out of sync. But normally I connect directly to the
guests with vnc or rdesktop once the network is set up anyway, and I
don't know if the same problem happens at the physical console of the
host (which I almost never use).
