I then sat down and used it myself because it solved a very big problem. I had a laptop which I could not install anything but Windows on.. but I wanted to run various ISOs I got from the show. VirtualBox ended up being the solution and it worked like a charm. The UI was easy enough to play with and its wizards walked me through any processes I was unsure of. In the end I had 10 different systems installed and running. So my guess would be to make kvm/qemu bigger.. make it work in Windows. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
