Oracle VM Virtual Box

VirtualBox (now called as ORACLE VM Virtualbox) is an extremely feature rich, high performance powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization software for enterprise as well as home use.Exaggeratingly,it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Developed by virtualization pioneers Innotek limited (later acquired by SUN Microsystems, now owned by ORACLE),Virtualbox is cross platform and extremely easy to use. Even a true novice can get a hold on VirtualBox due to its intuitive interface and rapid configuration wizards.

VirtualBox supports a wide array of platforms including Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.

VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. I guess with VirtualBox on board with ORACLE, VBox has got a quite bright future (unless Oracle doesn't starts proprietary shit with it).
