KVM runs Windows just fine for me.
Virtualization does not change anything about licensing. You still need a
license for all the software, but, for Windows there might be different
licensing models available to you when running in a virtualized
environment.
3D software packages are often limited by the fact that under a virtual
environment they are doing software based rendering. It will likely be
the performance killer aspect of virtualization in your environment.
