VB seems to be coming along very well, and IMHO is only slight less
nice than VMWare. I use it for a variety of things - trying out new
OSes, as dev environments, etc. You can get very creative with how you
use virtualized machines - you can even have a "clean" one read to go
that includes your favorite software stacks in pristine condition.
And if you do any sort of *nix related training, VB images are idea
for providing participants with a working custom environment out of
the box.
