Please note that I *did* look for alternatives to VMware before going

this route. First, I tried Qemu. Unfortunately, I can't use KVM with it
because my CPU doesn't support Intel-VT, and apparently the folks who
maintain Qemu for Fedora have decided not to support kqemu, so the
performance of Qemu is positively awful, and in fact it's so slow that the
application that I need to run on Windows (TurboTax) doesn't work.
kqemu has been unmaintained upstream for a long time now, and upstream
QEMU developers finally deleted it entirely. Fedora is just following
upstream's recommendation which is to not support kqemu and as of F11
we don't even need to disable it, the kqemu code simply doesn't exist
anymore.
