KVM/libvirt virtualizes Win7 guests just as well as it does servers.  I 
use it, but with wired and wireless connections, both 802.11b/g/n 
(2.4GHz) and 802.11a (5GHz) wireless NICs.  The Win7 guest doesn't care 
and doesn't see the difference.  There are a number of HOWTOs out there 
showing how to get Win7 up as a guest, including with virtio disk, 
network, and video.  You will need the virtio driver CD; google for it, 
it's easy to find.  You need to do a bit of googling; all the 
information you need is already out there in easily accessible form on 
the KVM website.
