Amos, there are a couple of other contenders that are similar to VmWare.

Parallels also has a Linux version.
VirtualBox - which was even GPLed a while back
Qemu

I haven't tested VirtualBox yet but Parallels and VmWare are the ones with
the best performance (at least that I know of).

Just a tidbit about this point - Dell still offers Windows XP as an
option.

As for the rest - does anyone know how usable is KVM or other
virtualization solutions on Intel Core 2 Duo in relation to running Windows
(XP) under Linux?  VMware gives good value for money in terms of user
interface and ease of use but is not the absolute sole player in the area,
is it?
