I have to agree, I like VirtualBox better, but the free ( as in beer )
VMWare Server will also allow you to create the virtual machine and
play it, but it does NOT allow you to use the shared folders with the
host that I REALLY like.

VirtualBox just seems to run faster and of course if you compile from
source it's 100% open source.
