So, if you installed windows using an unattended install, would you
then be able to run a screen reader in the installed windows on the
vm, and have it output speech to the sound card, and interact with the
screen reader, windows, and all other aps  via the keyboard, like you would on a native
windows install, or is the serial console a problem after the
installation as well? Just wondering anyway, what would happen if
windows tried to display the gui via the serial port console, and you
had minicom running at the other end (grin)?
