VMware Player runs on a number of "host" operating systems Windows, Linux, etc, and you can run a number of "guest" operating systems including Windows, Linux, etc. So yes you can do what you want. You can run Windows in Windows, Windows in Linux, Linux in Windows, Linux in Linux. And yes VMWare Player is free.

You can even run Mac OS, through VMware.

Woah, woah... slow down there!

OS X though, right?

Anything, DOS, too. It simply creates new virtual partition, so it's like separate, brand new HD, straight from the store. You can use it any way, you want.

I have already XP, 2000, and 98 there, and Mac's Leopard, and Windows 7 are coming.

how do I get a MAC os running with VMware? there doesn't appear to be an option when adding a VM. Or, must I have an old version?

While at selecting OS, choose Other, then pick FreeBSD.

Ahh, OK, thank you! Now I have a use for my Mac OS CD that I got with a bunch of books and stuff.

Which flavor ? ?

darn, It's not the UNIX based OS X, but rather a 8.6 system software disc; I'm sure there are emulation solutions for them as well, but they ran on small endian motorola processors, which is a bit different from what VMware emulates.

if I ever. *ahem* acquire OS X, at least I have a way to give it a whirl.

I just installed Windows 7.
Take a look...
