I believe that it was the January issue of Maximum PC that reviews, 
compares, and contrasts VMware with Hyper-V.  I seem to recall that 
Microsoft's product limits you to Windows-only installations.  If you have 
no intentions to ever do anything with Linux that may not be an issue.

I've been kicking around the idea of downloading VMware Player to play 
with Linux.  I've never heard of Virtual Box but may give that a try. I've 
never used any of them but don't want be limited.  Also, it has been my 
experience that Microsoft never seems to go any further than necessary 
with features in their products.
