What are the pros and cons between KVM, XEN and Virtualbox for setting
up either WinXP or Vista in a VM? The guest system would only be used
occasionally for Windows-only applications (3D graphics editors)

Hi Dylan,
I do have some XP running hw-virtualized under XEN.
Setting them up via yast is as easy as can be.
Personally, i create a 5GB LV on the bare metal machine and offer _that_
as disk to my virtualized XP, along with 1GB mem. For most simple
applications that's more than enough.
In your case, doing 3D grapics, i wonder:
1) are you needing the power of your graphics card?
if so, you can delegate the full control of tha card via XEN towards
one virtual machine. AFAICR this is something you can not do with KVM.
However, this is not documented/supported within SuSE, you for further
info you gave to look in the XEN-documentation.
2) No possible to use 3D editors under linux, like blender?
