Run Multiple Virtual PCs for Free

Scott Spanbauer from PC World wrote an interesting article talking about how "virtualization software lets you try out new OSes and programs without the risks and hassles of an actual installation".

You might want to read it, it was very interesting. In part, this is what Scott had to say:
If you're contemplating dual- or triple-booting operating systems on your PC, or you want to see how a new version of your current distribution behaves before upgrading, you'll want to consider it. Virtualization software allows you to install and run a new OS without having to repartition your drive or reboot your main operating system. Virtualization also lets you do risky things, like browse the Web using an unpatched version of Windows XP, without endangering the host system.
