One issue I had when trying Virtualbox is that it required kernel modules to be installed in the kernel. This is from memory, but I had terrible trouble with it on my Linux box, but Vista handled it perfectly :( I'm going to be hosing the F9 install that has VB on it and installing F11 at some point so I'll try VB again then.

Its very easy to get started with, without needing to know to much about Virtualization before-hand.
