VMware workstations or Microsoft Windows Virtual PC

Do you choose Vmware workstations or Windows Virtual PCs?
I have always been sceptical of data storage virtualization, considering the amount of marketing hype surrounding virtualization in the market.

However, the latest VMware and Windows Virtual PC announcements have made me revise my earlier sceptical outlook.

Microsoft is offering Virtual PC for workstations free and also promising better support for Linux.

Vmware is coming out with a new workstation version that should remove the kinks out of the earlier version.

All in all, both Vmware and Windows Virtual PC are great options- I choose Virtual PC if the emulation is needed on more Windows environments and Vmware workstation if there are more Linux environments.
