Don't know about Windows 7, but my XP virtual machine runs faster
on my fedora box as a KVM than my real windows XP box runs (of course
the real Windows XP box is on slower hardware :-).

The only thing that seems slower is disk I/O, and that is probably
because I mostly use a network filesystem for everything. I suspect
the redhat virtio drivers and an LVM backed disk image would even
make disk I/O almost as good as real hardware.

The one thing you won't get is fancy graphics (at least not
until spice shows up in the release or you manually install
some of the experimental spice support).
