[dba-VB] Installing VS2010 on a PC with VS2008 SP1

Hi Shamil

I have not used Ghost for years. I have read about some utils from VMware and MS that can convert between physical and virtual machines and images but if that includes Ghost I have no idea.

As for having VS running in the cloud, I think that is a bit optimistic even for a "not that far future" ... 
If you have a need like that now, I would use a simple remote desktop connection or - if you need to pass firewalls - the free version of LogMeIn to control my main workstation.

Hi Gustav at all --

I'm getting installed a fresh Win7 with MSSQL2008 and VS2008 - and I have
made a few Norton Ghost images of this system install on different stages.
Is there any way to have that images converted to MS Virtual PC or VMWare
formats or XenDesktop(http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/home.asp) or
(please recommend better options of VMs) to maybe use that images somewhere
in not that far(?) future on the cloud and just have "lightweight"
note-/net-book to work with that "PC on the cloud"?

Thank you.
