I would definately stick with the openvpn solution. It's simplier to
implement, and i didn't understood the part that the configuration
cannot survive a reboot. Is this a problem on the user side? If it is,
the same potential to damage the openvpn setup, could be used to dmage
the ipsec setup. And i do have many clients of mine, that use a openvpn
solution on windows XP without problems. You can even make your own
instalation package
(http://openvpn.se/files/howto/openvpn-howto_roll_your_own_installation_package.html),
that places your certificates and conf files in the right place, so the
setup can be corrected with a few clicks of the user. It can even run
without administrator rights
(http://openvpn.se/files/howto/openvpn-howto_run_openvpn_as_nonadmin.html).

Now about the kerio firewall, you should try to completely disable the
flitering on the tun/tap interface and/or disabilitating filtering on
the port that openvpn uses. Yes, that's another advantage, it use only
ONE port, and is NAT friendly. So i always recomend openvpn.

My regards,
