I have KVM on CentOS 6.5 with three Windows development/testing VMs (WinXP,
7, 8) and a Win2k8 VM used by our tech support staff. Each of them have 2
vCPUs. I believe the XP VM is 32-bit and the rest 7, 8, and 2k8 are
64-bit. Those Windows VMs are largely outnumbered by their Linux brethren
on that same KVM node, but they all run well!
Virtualizing a copy of XP, 7, and 8 was one of the best moves I made ...
enable RDP on Windows and I can jump into them with a VNC client from my
Linux desktop. :)
I installed the virtio drivers from the ISO Fedora provides ... most of
those VMs were set up many versions ago (comared to the current virtio
ISO). They're running without problems and have been for quite some time.

Same here -- I haven't had a reason to tinker with USB pass through and
what not.
