I have a Windows-PC with VirtualBox where GuixSD is running stable
since at least half a year. 

I think the recommendation with QEMU is more about freedom: As far as I
know there are some issues with software-freedom. The only reference I
found is some older Trisquel discussion claiming some compiler is only
open source, but not nonfree:

https://trisquel.info/en/forum/virtualbox-non-free-software

Has anyone else a clearer picture about that?

Björn
