I've been using VMWare for a long time now to run linux from windows and do my bot linux compiles and try out various distros and such. Stumbled on a link recently where apparently there is a free VMWare player that will allow you to run pre-built VM's.
Free being the keyword, I thought maybe others might benefit too, so here's the link.
