Running VMware Workstation 7.1 (Yes - that's correct! It was just released) on F13B (with current patches). My system is a Lenovo T400 with 4GB RAM. Installed flawlessly and runs Windows 7 (with 2 vCPUs and 2GB RAM allocated) with no issues at all - including very smooth sound. Now, if they would fix USB support so that it actually worked with most new devices we would be golden! On vBox, you will need to install a driver (I forget which one) in addition to the vBox extensions to get sound. It's in the vBox user guide though. I doubt you'll get smooth sound from KVM yet, if you get sound at all.
