[GLLUG] Windows virtual machine - KVM vs XEN vs Virtualbox

[Paul Hewlett]

Hi Dylan

I have a w7 VM running under KVM. Installing the necessary virtio and spice
drivers on W7 is not straightforward and gives me the occasional black
screen.
I would agree with Jan et al - if you are only using it occasionally just
use Virtualbox - it's straightforward and performance is good.
