Have you looked at VirtualBox <http://www.virtualbox.org> ? It was
previously a commercial product from Innotek that has been open sourced
(GPL). They make money by providing a few minor addons if you want a
commercial license, notably virtualized USB, Remote Desktop Protocol
(RDP), and a combined USB/RDP to allow using USB devices on thin clients.
The commercial version is available free for personal use and evaluation.
