I am a sick, sick individual. I'm trying out Virtual Box by running it
INSIDE A VIRTUAL MACHINE! :-D
I created a VMware virtual machine, installed Windows, installed Virtual
Box for Windows, and then created a Windows VM inside that.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this doesn't actually *work*. (Presumably the
CPU hardware doesn't support nested virtualisation...) But the program
gets far enough for me to see what the user interface is like and what
options are available, etc.
(I wonder... Is there some option I can flip inside VMware to make
nested VMs work? Perhaps if I turn off hardware virtualisation or
something...)

If you get the Open Source version, you have to somehow compile it
yourself. (!!) I'll have to set up a Linux VM before I can try that...
