I've used it before, I love it. I've used it to:
- Run Linux (RH7.2) in Windows (2K)
- Run Windows (XP) in Linux (RH9 or FC1)
- At work we run AD Servers (W2K AS) on our Linux boxes (our own brand of Linux, although they'll soon be going to RedHat).
- Another place I worked at used it to run WinXP on a Win2K machine (don't ask hehe)
Besides the performance degredation you can get from running 2 OSs on the same system, it's not a bad system
There's alternatives.. and if you're keen.. check out
bochs: The Open Source IA-32 Emulation Project (Home Page)... it's like vmware.. but Open Source (and more difficult to setup, beware!)

syllable didnt work right, slax live CD doesnt work (with the one config i tried) and some others dont.
I want to try OpenBSD in it so I can figure out how to configure X and KDE on it.

I had a problem with syllable as well. Boot CD had some problems. Ah well, maybe in the future...

When you set up a "virtual machine", it gives you a list of "guest OSs" that it can customise itself for (default amounts of mem/disk/etc). I'm not sure that's a definitive list, but it's a good start. Oh.. and definitely give it a free trial before shelling out $200 for it.
