I consider switching from VirtualBox to Aqemu: Some questions

I am considering switching from VirtualBox to Aqemu.

I want to use "Linux" as host and "Windows 7" as guest.
But there are a few things that I really want to have:

  1. In VirtualBox there is the possibility not to shut down the VM completely, but to save it similar to the Windows Hibernate function. This function is called "savestate". Is there something equivalent in Aqemu?
    Why do I need this function? I don't want to reboot my VM every time I need it, because it takes a lot of time. Starting from "savestate mode" is much faster. This is the reason why I use "savestate" in VirtualBox.

  2. in VirtualBox there is the "seamless mode". This provides a better integration of started programs with the host. In this mode, the desktop of the VM is hidden. Only the windows of the started programs are visible and the Windows task-list. So we can e.g. work with a Word window as if it would be a program from the host.
    Is there such a function also in Aqemu?

  3. In VirtualBox there is a command, that I can use in a script, that can start a VM. This is called: "VBoxManage startvm "NameOfMyVM"".
    Does such a command also exist in Aqemu?

  4. in VirtualBox there is a command, that I can use in a script, that starts a program in the guest. This is called:
    "VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol "NameOfMyVM" start --exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" --username AccountName --password 123456"
    Does such a command also exist in Aqemu?

  5. Is it possible to use "common folders", so that the guest can access files that lie on the HD of the host? And can I write and read this files in the host and guest? So as this is no problem in VirtualBox.

Many thanks.
