Well QEMU is an emulator, as opposed to vmware which is a VM.  QEMU is
fast for an emulator, but from my experience it is too slow to
comfortably use something like windows XP (anybody else thats tried it,
correct me if I'm wrong =]).  vmware, on the other hand, doesnt do any
translation (well, I'm sure it does *some*, but the point is it doesnt
dynamically translate everything, it just pretends its a separate
computer and runs on the host machine).
