Virtual Box (Free)
If you have never heard of VirtualBox, it is the free and open source equivalent to VMWare. If you are still lost, what VirtualBox basically does is let you run any operating system inside your current operating system virtually!. For example, you can run Mac-OS X inside Windows, or Run Windows inside Ubuntu Linux, just like having a Windows emulator for Ubuntu, etc. The possibilities are endless. Virtualbox is a blessing for those of us who are in need of running another operating system. Let’s say that your main computer is Windows based, however, you are in need of running a program that only exists in Linux, or you want to test certain programs you downloaded from the web but are afraid of catching a virus.With VirtualBox you will be able to accomplish all of that reliably and without the licensing constraints of VMware.
