Aw, heck.

At the expense of being redundant, yes, QEMU does run on Windows.  I
haven't built the binary, but there are a lot of projects floating
various versions around.

I grabbed the one from the latest ReactOS release, which is version
0.6.2 but I'm not sure if all the earlier patches posted here were
applied to it.  I had success:

The odd black box in the upper left-hand corner disappears as soon as
the cursor is active.  Networking looks like it's going to work fine,
but I think the Windows version of QEMU only supports their user-mode
networking, so no virtual auth or CPU servers out there.

It might be interesting to get QEMU to boot a Plan 9 floppy and pull
the filesystem off a fileserver.  I don't know if this would have any
advantage over drawterm, other than testing.

Definitely not a chick magnet kind of thing.
