OK, so I need to do some stuff that will only work on Linux.

What I *could* do is set up a Linux system under QEMU, but that's quite 
slow. So I thought I'd go with VirtualBox instead.

Nuhuh. Apparently VirtualBox is "free" so long as you only use it for a 
week or two. You can also obtain a copy licenced under the GPL, but then 
you have to compile it from source yourself. (Which, obviously, is 
impossible.)

OK then. So how about VMserver then?

Nuhuh. They're demanding a real email address before they will let me 
download the product, and it looks like they're going to demand that I 
"activate" it after it's installed.

So can anybody suggest a virtual machine implementation that really *is* 
free? (And works hosted on Windows.)
