Free VMware server ships
by Volker Weber
Begin enjoying the benefits of server virtualization with the free VMware Server. VMware Server installs on any existing server hardware and partitions a physical server into multiple virtual machines by abstracting processor, memory, storage and networking resources, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Streamline software development and testing and simplify server provisioning as you utilize the ability to "build once, deploy many times."

And for Windows(TM) users:
Microsofts Virtual PC 2004 for free
What a coincidence.
Yeah but VMware is so much better :-)
I've been playing with this product since buying a dual core machine a few days ago...I'm quite astounded at how simple it was to setup and get a couple of test VMs running. I'll be using this to test software and to simply sandbox other stuff that I don't really want on my machines (but sometimes have a need for).
Kudos to VM for making this free which will ultimately extend their reach. I've sat around many a table talking about this technology but its not until I had a chance to play that some real benefits to our business became clear.
