VMWare is payware, no? Isn't Virtual PC now a MS product, freely
available? Would be better.
Yes and no. Their "ESX" (enterprise) stuff costs serious money, and
their "Workstation" line costs some money, but their former "GSX"
(group-level) product "VMware Server" is FREE, and has been for more
than a year. They also offer their "VMware Player" for free, which is
something like an incomplete version of Workstation" - it just *runs*
virtual images, but doesn't create them... of course, there are *ways*. ;)
In any case, both the MS lineup and the VMware one have their
strengths and weaknesses (I actually still have a paid-for copy of VPC
around somewhere), but "VMware Server" is free and is easily up to the
task of testing this type of software on multiple OS versions and
releases (as Neil was suggesting).
