I believe many people have the same questions. Which one is the best free virtualization out there?

I did not include the Vmware Workstation because it is not free. Based on my experience working with all the virtualization software, my personal opinion would be the Sun VirtualBox. I got hooked up with it when I was trying to virtualize Solaris 10.

At that time, I was undecided to go to which direction for my career path. There was a vacancy as Unix expert in Sun platform which means that I have to work with Sun Solaris and its Sun Storage too.

I have installed Vmware server 2.0 but it always made my computer slow. The response was not so fast.

Then, I tried virtualbox, the installation steps were about the same as vmware server. After setting up all the guest OS, it was getting very smooth and fast response.

Virtual PC 2009 is good for Windows systems. Other than  that, it is not supported well.
