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).
Thanks for the summary. What about Xen? I heard that its user interface is notorious, and that basically VMware's user interface makes it a leader (beyond the speed issue). Then there is the question about KVM - is it a real option for people who just want something that "Just Workd(TM)"? To give context for my question - I've just bought a Dell desktop based on Intel Core 2 Duo and installed Debian Etch (amd64) on it, and now I wonder how should I go about running Windows XP under it (possibly using the Windows XP partition I got with the computer, but not necessarily).
