QEMU is the old way doing this.

As mentioned from other people on the list VirtualBox is an easy way of
doing this.

If you want some nativ virtualisation check out KVM because this comes
straight from the kernel and also has a pretty nice Win7 support.

Now the biggest question is... Do you want to run this on a server or on
a desktop? For desktops with GUI support choose VirtualBox. IMHO KVM is
not that fast with VMs which comes with a GUI.
If you want to run this on a server and using RDP to connect on your VM
choose KVM. That's what I'm doing with virtualisation.

Cheers
Flo
