Well, in addition to system emulation qemu that I'd guess most users want qemu for, it has "user" emulation where you can run for xample an ARM binary on an x86 host. It also emulates many targets, not just the x86/x86_64 that VMware or VirtualPC support - bear in mind these are virtualisation tools, not emulators, where as qemu is primarily an emulator with virtualisation acceleration for native x86/x86_64 targets. This makes qemu great for cross-target development. See www.scratchbox.org for example. Obviously qemu also has the advantage that (apart from the virualisation module kqemu) it's open source, which means a lot to many people, at least for me! -- Kevin F. Quinn
