I just had the chance to play around with VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org) as different virtualization application. Using my Windows laptop (running XP) I was able to set up virtual machines running Fedora Core 8 and Solaris Express (Build 79). Including Cygwin that makes for 4 different OS environments without having to reboot!
I'd had mixed success with VMWare on boxen at home, but was impressed with the ease of use of VirtualBox on Windows. Once I upgrade my Linux box to a more recent Fedora version it should be a better host for VirtualBox (more CPU horsepower, memory, and disk space).
