VirtualBox should work too.  In terms of ease of use, it is somewhere
between QEMU (harder) and VMWare (easier).  VMWare seems to be the
fastest.  There is also Microsoft Virtual PC.  If you have the
Professional version of Win7, you get a copy of XP to run as a VM, but
I was never able to get that to work.

But rather than running a WinXP VM, why not go for a Win9x one?  It is
much lighter on the hardware resources and a lot more DOS-friendly.

You can set up a network share (between the VM and host) so that you
can edit your files on the host, and use the guest to compile them
"natively".  This is what I'm doing (my host is Linux 64-bit, the
guest is Win98SE).  An added benefit to this solution, is that you can
use a serial port based debugger without requiring more than one
computer.
