[Discuss] Are there any no-cost vm's still out there?

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

If you want to run Windows as a VM on a Linux host, there's always KVM.
It's all native Linux, no proprietary licenses to worry about.

I've used it to run Linux guest VMs, but a quick google search turns up a
bunch of links about running a Windows 7 guest under KVM.
