I've been kicking around the idea of downloading VMware Player to play with Linux. I've never heard of Virtual Box but may give that a try. I've never used any of them but don't want be limited. Also, it has been my experience that Microsoft never seems to go any further than necessary with features in their products.

I am interested in trying out some virtualization too, though in my case it's the other way around (Windows as the guest OS). I took a quick peek at the Virtualbox site.

There are three versions with various levels of restriction:

Free - missing some features (USB support being the most obvious to me).
No-charge - restricted to personal or evaluation use only
Commercial - you have to deal with payment and licence management (keeping track of keys, for example).
