We're using a standard VMWare disk image for MS-Windows.  I have quite a 
number of Linux disk images that were actually converted from Qemu.  I did 
consider trying out partitions with VMWare but performance with disk 
images has always been good and I didn't want to lose the flexibility the 
images offer.

It's always been fairly easy to setup VMWare.  These days I use bridged 
networking exclusively.
