You guys made much use of these?
Really amazing tool for testing and development. I am a big fan. You can mess it up as much as you want and it doesnt matter if you've got a nice clean slate to start from without have to install everything or wait for a ghost to be applied.
Ive got 2 vpc's running on top of my system testing a client server app and its bloody amazing that it can all run of the same crappy p2.8 although I do have 2Gb of ram.
Free from microsoft now as well but you'll need proper licenesed software for anything running on the vpc

How does that work? You can run a WinXP computer, with VirtualPC, and in a VirtualPC session you can emulate (or install) another operating system?

VMWare is now free and will allow you to run virtual servers as well

Havent tried vista on one mainly because of the way graphics are handled.
