libvirt users - May 2011 - Replace library WinXPs by virtual WinXPs as on a linux Fedora system?

Hi, 


The current situation:
* About 500 university library PCs run WinXP as the main OS.

I would like to achieve the following:
* Replace the WinXP by a linux system (Fedora?) with virtualizationsoftware 
(KVM?) and
have WinXP as a guest OS, in such a way that the users immediately boot into 
WinXP
without noticing the virtualization.

* Over the network I should still be able to access the host Fedora OS.

Is this a feasible idea? If yes, can you give me some clues how to start? 

Thank you!

Rob.
