Vmware is the absolute KING of virtualization... and dont let anyone tell
you otherwize
Its the most flexible virtual machine program.
There is server and player that is free... there is also a beta for vmware
workstation 6
that has some very intriguing new technologies.
Virtual pc is more of a toy.. lol... by they way.. MS bought it,
they didn't develop it from scratch.. as MS always does..
they buy things and change them a bit..
Bill gates bought what was called pc-dos from a programmer working in a
company,
only for 50.000 and created MS dos...
that started him off in the beginning..making him millions.
The poor guy that wrote dos,
is almost totally forgotten....
