Virtualization

QEMU

Qemu is pretty awesome. Here is an example of how to virtualize a windows guest under linux:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -cpu
    -enable-kvm \
    -m 8192 \
    -drive file=/path/to/win/image.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,if=virtio \
    -net user,smb=/data \
    -net nic,model=virtio \
    -vga qxl \
    -display sdl,gl=on
