It is hardware virtualization that is disabled, where VMWare is a software based solution. You shouldn't have any issues at all with it, unless there is a software compatibility problem.

VMWare server is free. Probably about the best thing you're going to find for Windows. It's a little harder to use than VMWare Workstation due to the server features, but you can use it locally too.

There's also Virtual PC 2007 which is available for free now. Although its mainly for Windows OS's, but it can be modded to work with Linux.
