Does anyone know of any FREEWARE programs that would run in windows XP that would allow me to run a second OS (linux or maybe even a diffrent version of windows) in a window so i can run two OSs at once.
they refer to a DOS question, but either Bochs and QEMU can run all operating systems in a window.

Microsoft Virtual PC or VMware can both do the job.

I can say you'll love either QEMU or VMware's free VMplayer. QEMU can run just fine from a usb drive along with an OS like DSL. See the DSL website for an embedded version that is all setup, ready to try linux on your XP machine. You can run from limited user. VMplayer is better but needs Admin to install and needs some mastering of how to make a vmx file.
