A clarification... you need a Windows license to run Windows in VMWare
or VirtualBox. You do not need a Windows license to run VMWare or
VirtualBox. VMWare and VirtualBox can be used to host a variety of
operating systems including Linux, OpenSolaris, OS/2 etc... not just
Windows.
Some people have even managed to install OSX in VirtualBox (although
this requires a modified version of the OSX install DVD, and you are
probably breaking the Apple ELUA even if you own the original OSX
DVD).
