KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).

My Core 2 Duo supports Intel VT.

Haven't tested Windows 7 on a virtual machine. There is no sense for me to waste that much hard disk space. All software that I need works fine in Windows XP. Windows 7 works on KVM and it is more secure than Windows XP. You have a license for Windows 7, so it is a better choice for you.
