If you haven't looked at this it's sort of interesting. It appears to be 
a free VM enviroment that can run virtual copies of Linux, XP, and soon 
FreeBSD on a single system much like VMWare. It claims that it's faster 
than programs such as VMWare of Plex86 (because it requires minor 
changes to the kernel instead of trying to beat the kernel into 
behaving). Currently it only runs on x86 but should be reasonably easy 
to port to run on other hardware. In practical terms right now you can 
only run Linux on it but they are negotiating with Microsoft to release 
the changes needed to let XP users run in this enviroment too.
