Vmwareplayer is for free too and costs nothing, but ofcourse it is not
opensource :(.

You don't need to buy vmware to use vmplayer. Just create a vmware 
image with the qemu tools and use it with vmplayer.

If qemu would have the performance of vmware, I'd prefere it and I'd not 
use vmplayer. But if you want to use Windows inside a virtual machine 
the performance is an important point to take care of. And if also a 
screenreader is used inside a virtual machine with Windows, performance 
becomes even more important. 

I tried qemu but it was just to inperformant, vmplayer works better at 
this state of development and thats why I decided to switch to vmplayer 
:(.
