Chris Are you asking about the free options, or the commercial offerings? I personally use the commercial offerings because one runs on Mac OS, whilst the other rungs under Windows. Used in a suite, (although purchased separately) they complement one another. It isn't really perfect yet, as demonstrated by the problem I encountered this week. But for the most part it works. If you're enquiring about the free offering which only runs on Mac OS, do a Google search for "Mac Fusion" (not to be confused with VMWare Fusion which is a totally different and unrelated product.
