Virtualbox

After trying Crossover and being left disappointed(It ran Best of Entertainment, but these two Game Maker games I had crashed after loading up. And Jezz Ball didn't have any sound.) I'm considering using my bootleg XP copy after all. (immediately destroying it after, and claiming to my parents I used an existing XP CD)

I figured Q wouldn't be up to scratch, but I found out about Virtual Box
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox

So far I've read pretty good reviews, and it's free. The only thing that wouldn't be so good is if it couldn't run a Boot Camp partition like VMware can. But it's free, so I can live with that.
Can anyone(yes, I honestly mean "anyone" this time, not just Danny or anyone else who uses a Mac here. It runs in Windows and Linux too) test it and see if the reviews I've read are accurate? It also seems to support 98, which I've wanted to run if only for the aesthetics.
The reason I don't do it myself right now is because I don't have the opportunity at the moment. I need to make sure my mom and dad aren't around when I do this so I can say I used a legit CD.
