I've spend these days playing with it. I've converted Win7 64-bit from my |
| 7 |
VMware and after fixing a lot of things here and there finally get it to work. |
| 8 |
It's a little slower than in VMware, but fast enough so it's ok. |
| 9 |
Video (including youtube/flash) is too slow to be usable, but I don't need it. |
| 10 |
Everything else works ok. |

I didn't tried Win7 32-bit or XP yet, but I believe they'll work too… |
| 13 |
after fixing a lot other things here and there, of course. |

But, sad truth is, I'm also need a MacOSX. Because sometimes something |
| 16 |
don't work there and I need to test/fix it. Moreover, most of users use |
| 17 |
latest MacOSX version, so I need that one. Or, at least, Lion (10.7). |
| 18 |
But, according to http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ |
| 19 |
it looks like neither 10.7 nor 10.8 work in qemu at all, and 10.6 require |
| 20 |
linux kernel patches (which I didn't like because it's maintenance headache). |
| 21 |
All successful reports related to running MacOSX in qemu which I was able |
| 22 |
to find are about 10.5, which is too old for my needs (there is also one |
| 23 |
10.6 preinstalled image on torrents which pretend to be compatible with |
| 24 |
VMware, VirtualBox and RHEV (and thus qemu), but I didn't see anyone |
| 25 |
really used that on RHEV, so it may be fake). |
| 26 |
|

|
| 28 |
So, looks like until VMware/VirtualBox support will be fixed for amd64 |
| 29 |
hardened, I can't do my work without maintaining second non-hardened |
| 30 |
kernel and rebooting between hardened and non-hardened kernels each time I |
| 31 |
need to test something in other OSes. :( |
