i don't know how many of you knew this, but there is a free* VMWare
Player along with many premade ready to download virtual machine
images.  The VMWare can be a host on a Linux or Win platform and have
Linux and Win guests.  Won't be able to check it out till i get to a
faster connection.   I still want to support QEMU.org, but this player
sounds easy enough for Grandma.  i like their idea of a "Browser
Appliance" virtual machine, but i still do not see it protecting
against a keystroke logger app running on the host OS.
