AFAIR the 478 P4 doesn't include the required VT extensions. As such, only QEMU or VMWare Player/Server can be used to run unmodified guests. (Read: Windows) Both are free. QEMU is slower, but GPL. VMWare is (much) faster, but it's close source and as such, if it breaks, your own your own. *
Gilboa, what about Xen?
If you don't have VT extensions, you can only run paravirtualised (read as: modified) versions of other OS's. So you won't get to run Windows without VT.
[rumor has it there's a paravirt version of Windows XP, but it hasn't been publically released].
