VMWare recently released their Server product for free ($$$, not 
speech), albeit with registration:

http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

But I wouldn't be surprised you need to be administrator to install it 
onto a windows box. However, I don't know (I've only done it the other 
way around), and if you can install the server (or possibly the just the 
"player") without admin access, you could run the virtual machine.
