Hi Simon,

I am interested VMs but am certainly no expert - I've used QEMU to boot 
DOS and run old apps. This Linux screensaver for Windows article caught 
my attention awhile ago; maybe it's what you had in mind?

I believe it works like this: a Linux LiveCD runs on QEMU that installs 
on Windows as a screensaver app.
