Is there any free OS Virtualization software? I can only find them for like $40 on google. Maybe I'm not searching right. But if anyone know of a free version, please let me know. Thanks :).

I use qemu and virtualbox-ose in Debian. Both are free software. You can also use Xen.

What OSes will you be running? If it's an older Windows version then Virtual PC 2007 is probably enough for your needs; for Linux there's a free version of VMware Player that can run images built with WMware Workstation. It ultimately depends on your needs and you need to be more specific.

Here's a table that might help:
