Thanks for listing those, Brian.

About a year ago, I saw a rather impressive demo of
VirtualBox. However, its major company developer (Sun ?)
was recently acquired by another major company, and
there was some question at to whether development was
continuing.

The emulators I've heard the best reports on have been
Virtual PC, and especially VM, which is said to have a
free version now. But of course, there would have to be
Mac-hosted versions of any of these available, for the
purposes of this discussion -- and it sounds like the VM
Harry referred to must be one such.
