If we find a big enough box we could try to put live demos using qemu.
I'll have to automate this, but using the Java VNC viewer we could let 
people try Haiku in a KISS way (no download, no install...), like 
posted on ICO.

I currently use:
qemu -net none -usbdevice tablet -vnc 1 -snapshot generated/haiku.image

This way we can run several instances that share the image file.

I'll try to find a way to securely allow net access from the vm without 
compromizing the LAN security, maybe only proxying port 80 or 
something.

Currently the emulated tablet isn't seen by input_server (ohci...) so 
the mouse cursors aren't in sync. When usb works it should be ok.

I have some ideas on how to get sound also, that would rock.

François.
