I just found out about Parallels:
http://www.parallels.com/

Like Xen it's a hypervisor (low-level virtual machine manager that sits between 
the hardware and
all OSes, even the "host"/dom0).  Unlike Xen it runs Windows unmodified on 
regular non-VT
hardware.  Unlike Xen it's $49 (which is great compared to, say, VMware's 
offerings, but who can
beat free?)  :-)

I haven't used it.  Someone please try it and compare it to Xen for us: 
performance, ease-of-use, etc.

* Bad news: We've all broken God's 10 Commandments. Lust is adultery (Matt. 
5:27-28), hate is murder (1 John 2:9). Break one and you've broken them all 
(James 2:10). We *all* deserve hell.

* Good news: Jesus paid my penalty. Turn from your sin & ask God's forgiveness 
by His blood -- while you still have time!
