Default Virtualization software recommendation
Hello,

I own Windows 7 Ultimate edition at the moment. I would like to set up a virtual environment of another Windows XP or Windows 7 for browsing and testing purpose on the same machine. If I get a virus or corruption in the virtual environment, then I like to be able to wipe it out and copy the original virtual environment within minutes.

I have tested Virtual Windows XP Mode, but the CPU spiked up to 100% when I tried to tar/untar large files from my host machine. I tried to do the network mapping from the virtual to the host machine, but it failed with better performance in CPU usage.

Does anyone know if I can install Windows 7 again on the same machine as a Virtual for free? or even XP?

I read that VirtualBox from Sun or VMWare Player from VMWare are free, but I'm not sure if it has a better IO or if I can reinstall Windows 7 to the Virtual.

Does anyone recommend a free software that can meet my needs?
