VirtualBox is available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Solaris.
Parallels is available for MacOS, but VMWare is faster.
VMWare is also available on Windows.
I use VirtualBox, it's pretty nice. I don't run it often, but I've just had a
thought that I might try it again on my Linux desktop at work. Since I now
know how to join the domain, I could bring up an XP vbox and save a step. I
rarely use my Windows machine for anything other than Outlook.
