Microsoft Virtual Server

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 allows you to create separate virtual machines on top of your Microsoft Windows desktop, where you can install virtually any Intel-architecture operating system. Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
