Yes, now you can, for free!
Microsoft has released the new Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 version of their VM software. You can use it to run multiple operating systems (also called "guests") at the same time on the same physical computer (also called "the host machine"). You can easily switch between virtual machines with the click of a button. Use virtual machines to run legacy applications, provide support, train users, and enhance quality assurance.
Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows 9X/NT/2000/XP/2003 and Vista, Linux, OS/2 and others.
Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.
