I want to change from dual boot to running XP in a VM. What are your
views on the various free systems out there, KVM, virtualbox, Xen etc.

You don't mention VMware Server, which is free and quite effective. Only thing is that you don't get sound over the network, but if both server and client are on the same box there's no problem.
I used VMWare Server before Virtualbox and really didn't like it. I found it loads slower than VirtualBox and the web interface was rubbish compared to the standalone app they had with version 1. It may have got better since I last tried it but at the time VirtualBox beat it hands down.
