It's very cool. Basically, it creates a virtual environment, somewhat isolated from the host OS, in which you can install any OS you like. At work, I've installed Ubuntu on my XP system. I'm finding it a bit of a memory hog, but otherwise it works just fine. I have Cygwin too, but really prefer the Virtual Box. I get full blown Linux without compromises of Cygwin. Then, if it turns out you don't like it, or want it to go away just delete the virtual partition.
