Dont forget about bochs!

Welcome to the Bochs IA-32 Emulator Project
Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++,
that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU,
common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, bochs can be compiled to emulate a
386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the
emulation including Linux, Windows? 95, DOS, and recently Windows? NT 4. Bochs was
written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.
Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in
development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation,
including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's
and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine
inside of a machine. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11
workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win
95 and associated software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your
workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC.
A little slower than VMware, but its F R E E! :)
