Virtualization has become a big thing for the desktop.  You can run one operating system inside another, or more than one, and create snapshots of running systems for various purposes.  You can create test snapshots and return to the original, copy them from machine to machine, or just use them to run applications you might otherwise not be able to.

VirtualBox by Innotek is a free Virtualization product for Linux, and is available for Windows also.  See what the fuss is about.
