Red Hat: "No, not really."
FOSS: "Yes, of course!"

Half the fun of QEMU (see also: QEMU Advent Calendar) is running old 
software. Technology moves so fast that even software from just 17 years 
ago is becoming impossible to run.

For historical and archival purposes it is absolutely of interest to be 
able to run one of Microsoft's most popular operating systems.

Of course, it's not particularly high on anyone's list who is getting 
paid to tend to QEMU, of course.
