QEMU is a processor emulator that relies on dynamic binary translation to achieve a reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPU architectures.

Besides the Central processor unit the following is emulated:

    * CD-ROM/DVD-Drive using an ISO-Image
    * Floppy disk
    * Graphics card (Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA-card or standard-VGA-Graphics card with Bochs-VESA-BIOS-Extensions – Hardware level, including all non-standard modes, and with an experimental patch simple 3D via OpenGL)
    * Network card (NE2000-PCI-Network adapter) and an DHCP-Server
    * Parallel port
    * PC speaker
    * Two PCI-ATA-Interfaces with a maximum of four Hard disk drive images either in its own format or in VMware, VirtualPC, Bochs, Knoppix (cloop) and dd (rawformat)
    * PCI and ISA-System (i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge)
    * PS/2-Mouse and -Keyboard (computing)
    * Serial interface
    * Sound card (Soundblaster 16, ES1370 PCI, GUS)
    * USB-Controller (Intel SB82371, UHCI)

The PC-BIOS comes from Bochs and the VGA-BIOS from Plex86/Bochs.

That is the technical part. Now the real part is that, I found a simple way of creating the qemu virtual computer, and you can do so easily on windows.

You need windows OS (I tested on Vista, and Xp, not other OS), a decent processor that does not get overloaded with another computer running on it as parasite, and some decent amount of RAM (allot 128 mb to XP and it will run as smooth as butter).
