I'm using Windows Virtual Machine that comes with Windows 7 64 bit. I use the built in XPMode that I use for an old copy of Quick Books and of course to test applications to make sure they work on XP and to compile ADP's that wont work on XP if compiled in Win7 SP1. I also have a Vista 32 and windows 7 32 bit for testing apps. Much more efficient than having a separate box.

I'm thinking if I want to use 2007 & 2010 and avoid that re-install nonsense, that's probably the way to go.

Install a couple of Virtual Machines. I could only run one at time when I had 4G, now with 8G I can run 2 VM's.

The CPU Usage gadget which shows all 8 cores and their usage also show RAM being used. It rarely goes over 2GB - usually hovers around 1.6. Do I have 6GB RAM that I don't need? Or is the gadget not telling me something.
