Will odd things like Windows XP work in KVM?
Yes. Did not encounter a problem since years.
Well, depends on how you operate the guest OS. As I like to have it even with multiple guest OSs running reasonable fast I'm used to install the virtio drivers to accelrate network and disk IO. And here it can get hairy. Recently I made good experience with the drivers included with the kvm package as offered for openSUSE. They're packaged as /usr/share/qemu-kvm/win-virtio-drivers.iso One of my Samba colleagues prefers xen. He uses it since several years. And as I'm cheap I consider to run it with one of my older systems which has a lot of memory and multiple CPUs but no hardware virtualization support.
