Use virtualbox(VirtualBox)

[Visual C#]

There's Parallels (not free), VMWare (not free, at least for Windows systems), and MS Virtual PC 2007 (free). I'm now using Parallels mostly, to test new software before installing it on my main PC.

The basic VMWare software is free on all platforms. If you are just wanting to run different systems on top of your current one, that is all you need. I believe even certain versions of VMWare ESX have been released free.

There is also VirtualBox from Sun ... which I personally prefer amongst all the basic virtualization platforms.

MS Virtual PC 2007 is FREE if your M$ Windows is a legit.
