Depends on what you want. I use VirtualBox as it give me the situation of
running a guest operating system integrated seamlessly into the host
operating system. For example Mandriva Linux as the host and XP totally
integrated into the Linux desktop (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, whichever).

If you're only looking to run a few Linux programs then one of the
solutions in this thread may be better. VirtualBox is more resource
intensive but gives you a mass of virtualisation options. I've never had
stability problems with VirtualBox and as far as security concerns go I'd
be a hell of a lot more worried about Windows security!
