I didn't say there weren't any, I said I hadn't heard of any. ;-)

Until yesterday, the only products I'd heard of where Bochs (only runs 
on Linux) and VMware (AFAIK that's extremely expensive). Oh, and doesn't 
Micro$oft now have some product that's just called "virtual server" or 
something undistinctive? Presumably that's a server product that is only 
available enterprise customers who've signed an NDA...
