I stopped using vbox when KVM + NX become so great that it wasn't worth the<br>
hassles of dealing with Oracle's licensing. The core stuff license isn't bad.<br>
The last time I looked, the guest additions licensing was less than ideal for my<br>
needs.<br>
<br>
OTOH, if Windows is the hostOS, I still think vbox is the least evil option.<br>
<br>
virt-manager does work fine for creating a Win7 VM. I'd recommend using RDP<br>
from that point on **from the same LAN only**. I've never seen/touched anything<br>
from MSFT after Win7. A few years ago, I would give presentations on tuning<br>
Windows VMs (vbox or KVM as the hosts). Think those presentations are still on<br>
the web somewhere. The only thing that needs careful consideration is the disk<br>
setup if it isn't on an SSD. I've seen 50% performance differences with the<br>
wrong vHDD choices/setup.<br>
