Interesting. However, I don't think it would run WIndows 7 very well. 
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.)

how about running another light Linux version VM that could in turn run wine, hence run all sorts of windows apps...
here is a list of apps (expand categories) that wine can run:

How about running native wine with patched user-qemu for running the native win32 executable ONLY, which is the only sane way to handle this, instead of the entire OS?
(and of course instead of daydreaming over a GUI to components that are already on the N900 ... ).
The last time I looked at it, patches for ARM Winelib support were being already merged in. I'm pretty sure that by now Wine compiles for ARM.

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...

there are efforts to cross execute x86 on N900, with limited success
for some people, the objective is wine+qemu
in example, see this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43480
there are other threads, too
