Perhaps it is worth to try an older version (98 or XP?), but it wil be slow to boot, and slow to do anything.

However if it isn't too sluggish after boot, it may be useful for some scenarios. (Such as using MS Office and such.)
"KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V)."

Even if there were Virtualization extensions on ARM, how many Windows 32 ARM applications do you know?

And Qemu without KVM would be almost like running Bochs...
