I think you were looking at the wrong thing.

The URL is http://www.vmware.com/landing/ws4_home.html

They also have some server software, but I don't know much about it.

VMWare will allow you to create a virtual PC in your PC. It is a great development tool. You can install various OSes into different Virtual PCs so you can test the interaction of your app with the OS.

You can install OSes like DOS, the various flavours of Windows from 3.1 on up including Server versions, Netware, Linux, BSD.

If you have enough physical memory, you can multiple VMs running at the same time.

It's a pretty slick little app.
