Virtulization - server 2008r2
Hello,
Is there any way that i could on a x64 machine running windows 7, install some sort of virtulization software that will enable me to setup a virtual server and a few client machines to test/do some research?
Vmware? Citrix? other?
I just need it so i can play around and do some learning?

Personally i'd recommend VMWare Workstation, its not free but its what I've always relied on.

Virtualbox free, and not too hard to use.
