VMWare has recently released a free (as in beer) "player" of virtual 
machine disk images.  It can run images created with VMWare workstation, 
Microsoft Virtual PC, and several others IIRC.  I installed it and gave 
it a once over, seems pretty slick.  Sample images are available for 
download such as an Ubuntu system with Firefox (meant to be used as a 
sandboxed browser.. works pretty well especially if you suspend your 
sessions rather than waiting for the guest OS to boot into X and start 
Firefox each time).
