As mentioned from other people on the list VirtualBox is an easy way of doing this. If you want some nativ virtualisation check out KVM because this comes straight from the kernel and also has a pretty nice Win7 support. Now the biggest question is... Do you want to run this on a server or on a desktop? For desktops with GUI support choose VirtualBox. IMHO KVM is not that fast with VMs which comes with a GUI. If you want to run this on a server and using RDP to connect on your VM choose KVM. That's what I'm doing with virtualisation. Cheers Flo
