If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP on your physical machine, you can still use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to run multiple operating systems at the same time on the same physical computer.
It is free ! You can download here:

Sun's is better then Microsoft's if you ask me. More responsive, as I gave both a gig of ram... and Microsoft destroyed the system performance on both computers. Sun on the other hand, played nice and does more then just Windows too.

If you do use the Microsoft one though... don't install the 2010 version and don't install the add-ons for 2007 for Windows 7. 2010 version needs your hardware to visualize (which most older pieces of hardware don't right now) and the add-ons for 2007 cause blue screens.

Sun's on the other hand... doesn't have this problem

Am using VirtualBox on my XP to access windows 7 since last couple of months. No major issues so far except 2 things which annoys me a lot.

1. I don't get feel that I am working on windows 7 because of mini window size. I can't increase window size. I can't find any option to increase window size.
   
2. I can't move/share files between xp & 7. There is shared folder option in virtual box, but somehow i am not able to use that feature.

Install the virtual machine add-ons.
