Hi Jim,

What kind of experiences have you had with the other 
virtualization options? I haven't looked at the offerings in a 
while, but I remember these were the best options a few years 
ago:

- KVM
- Linux VServer
- QEMU
- UML
- VMWare
- VirtualBox
- Xen

If I remember correctly, some of those only support running other 
linux's in the guest VM; like Linux VServer, and UML. I need to 
be able to run Windows in a VM for work. I do have hardware 
virtualizaion support.

I've been running VirtualBox for about three years, but I am 
interested in trying out other solutions.

Any recommendations?
