Unless/until Xen or KVM or something else comes out with a similarly

It's just too useful a tool to live without, if you are a serious
computer geek who develops software, webware, does consulting, plays
games, needs multiple OS's but only want to carry one box and don't want
to have to reconfigure reboot to get to them.
I was a dyed-in-the-wool vmware user until quite recently, too, but the
pain of keeping it running on "current" distros (read: Fedora) finally
forced me to look elsewhere. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by
VirtualBox if you give it a shot.
Then again, who knows what Oracle will do with it...
I'm not sure I'd TRY to keep it running on Fedora. Too bleeding edge
for my clusters!
