I have tried their product and was not to happy / impressed with the results... After some searching however, I cam across VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/). It is created by Sun Microsystems, its FREE, and is a snap to set up. I have had an awesome time installing Ubuntu, Solaris, DreamLinux, Fedora and Vista, all on my XP machine. the virtual OS's hardly ever crash, and when they do, it does not effect my host PC. I am using the software to get familiar with other OS's so that I can help more customers. Unfortunately Apple does not allow their OS's to be virtualized, so doing a Mac is not possible right now.
