Seems like I am getting nowhere fast. Win 7 virutal PC requires Prof, Ultimate etc. I have Home Edition. Sun Virtual box is for x86 architecture. Any other alternatives Jim?

I would suggest you assemble more computers as one major screw up on any OS would mean total disaster. I have 5 servers and a bunch of PCs and building a reliable redundant system was (still is) a real challenge. Virtual PC/Servers are a good alternative as the virtuals can be moved around...but they are slower than dedicated systems.

It says "multiple OS" and come pre-figures with XP. So, presumably I can use the XP one AND install another for Vista and another for Win 7 and another for O2k3 and another for O2k7 etc Am I reading this right or is there a catch? ALL thoughs most appreciated.
