Microsoft Virtual Box
Great program, it allows you to run any OS, well almost any, in a small window while running Windows.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, I tried out Fedora, I think it's a keeper.

I like that it allows me to change the CPU speed in Virtual-box, therefore I can transfer my CPU speed on windows to VirtualBox.

I think Fedora is pretty good, easy to learn how to use, but it's a tad less organized.

If anyone wants to try out Virtual box, Downloads - VirtualBox

Oh, and you'll need the .iso file for any Linux server you want to run.

This is more of a demo-program, so insted of installing a Linux server, you can test it first.
Virtualbox best darn VM.

No, just no.
Yes it is.

Oh and if you have an android based phone, you can use your computer as a keyboard for it.

It's pretty cool.
I use Virtual Box to run my web server only when I need it as a proxy at school or when I need to download files away from my home.

I'm getting 1151.7 kB/s from them but anything from a good server like googles or something tops at around 10000 kB/s

tl;dr (how it would be I don't know) their server is slow.
I got home and installed it, in like 12 minutes.
Whats the difference between that and VMWARE?
I don't think VMware is made by Microsoft, is it?

And personally, MSVB has better quality.
VirtualBox is made by Oracle Software, not microsoft.
Yeah, I didn't even notice when I installed it, I just took the name.

my bad
VMWARE > VirtualBox.

I can run 3 VMWARES, all of them on CF at once, and have over 45 FPS on each one.

Also, if you try to run Crossfire in VirtualBox you'll get a Themida Warning, about how it can't run under a Virtual Machine.
I don't run FPS games in VM's.

So I don't have that problem,

Like I said I only use MSVB to test Linux servers without the pain of installing.
