Now trying to install QEMU on a 7.10 desktop edition AMD64.
Is your requirement strictly QEMU / VirtualBox? Are you open to Xen? Also, with QEMU ensure that you install kqemu mod. It makes a hell of a difference. If you're one of the puritans, then Xen is the only real alternative to the kqemu-mod.
Regards to your Win* installation experience, I think you'll have a better time with QEMU / Xen. I've installed Win / Lin hosts inside QEMU and they've actually acted as web / database servers. Work quite well. Network setup is a piece of cake. Xen is PITA for networking though :P
