VMWare
The University of Cambridge has a site licence for VMWare Player.
The deal permits VMware to be installed on a managed machine without the explicit agreement of the end user. This is of negligible benefit to individually controlled machines.
You can download a copy of the licence to check that it covers your situation (Apologies for the quality).
The player can be downloaded from: http://www.vmware.com/download/player/
