OK,
For anyone who missed out on the tour of virtual machines, the updated handout - which explains the types of virtualisation software available and compares three free software applications for desktop use - is now available on the wiki. It has some corrections, modifications and a new conclusions page to supplement the software comparison based on the latest versions available for download at the time of writing.

Once again, I've tried to document everything I could remember but any other attendees should feel free to go and add their own version of events.
Peter.
