At least for the time being, Virtualbox is the best solution to virtualize Windows desktops. It has support for 3D and 2D acceleration which improves the user experience. It also has easy support for USB. I also think the configuration GUI is a little bit more user friendly than virt-manager, though that's a nice GUI as well.

I've been told that we'll get SPICE in 12.04, and that may change things, but for now, go with Virtualbox.
