I personally like VM ware 5 or 6. I like that it allows you to make vertual lans and you can do some pretty amazing stuff with it if your computer resources allow it. Really great for MS Server Certification labs.

You can do virtual lans with virtual sever, however, i definitely vote VMware sever. its pretty awesome,

Just got done with a training class that used VPC 2007. I was fairly impressed. I've never liked VM's all that much, but did like VMWare better than MS Virtual Server 2005. However, VPC 2007 is worth checking out. It's a small download (30MB+/-) and a small footprint.

Depends if you are looking for production or a quick program to do VMs for testing reasons.

I only use/suggest VMware in production/development/and testing.
I only use/suggest VirtualPC for quick and dirty testing local to your PC.

This is of course thinking about free products.

VMWare Workstation 6 and Virtual Server 2005. I kinda have to side with Virtual Server 2005 if for no other reason than Microsoft has dropped all support for any product residing in a VMWare environment.

Really? Did they state that officially?

If so, that would be stupid considering how many use vmware in production, also, how would they know it's in an vmware environment?

but then again, I wouldn't doubt it

If you call support and they find out it's VM Ware, they can refuse to support you, or so one of their engineers told me.
