Linux virtualization in Windows Vista?

Is there any virtualization solutions which will allow me to run Linux on Windows Vista?

virtualbox is a great virtual machine. Or try wubi for an Ubuntu inside Vista.

I would highly recommend Virtualbox. It is open source and runs much faster for single clients than more enterprise VM's like VMware

"Virtualbox works well for me, I can't recall having any problems with it.

VMWare makes (made? it is quite a while since I used it) the host machine very slow to boot as it sets up its networking stuff. In use, however, it's fine. VMWare Player is nice and easy to use, but doesn't include a way to create / edit virtual machines. I don't like VMWare Server's web type interface.

I seem to remember that in Virtual PC only emulates a two button mouse, but I'm not sure."

Go for Microsoft Virtual PC. Other ones are VirtualBox and vmWare.
