VMWare server is freeware which allows one machine to run multiple operating systems. This gives you the flexibility of running Window, Linux, or any other 32bit/64bit chip processor OS on which ever one machine you choose. Comes in real handy when you are not ready to migrate instantly to another OS; instead you can test drive it on a Virtual Machine. I will share thoughts about ease of use/install once I have completed an install of Windows XP Pro on a virtual machine on my laptop which currently runs Vista.

I test drove VMWare on my Vista machine. It worked great for the purpose of running another OS, but, it makes the start up of my machine utterly slow. So, since I did not have an imminent need for running multiple OS's on my machine, I ended up removing it.
I would like to check 'andlinus' instead. It looks pretty coool, see for yourself:
