Hi Arthur, I'm going to be doing the same thing soon with Office 2003/2007. For each PC, do you need to set up another OS within the partition? Can you use the same one? Does VirtualBox have a method to create the partition without having to reformat your existing C Drive? Thanks!

My choice happens to be Sun's VirtualBox, just because I wanted to do some Ruby On Rails coding. Lately I run VirtualBox on both my 64-bit dual Athlon and on my Lenovo notebook. Both machines have 3 GB of RAM and it works splendidly. So I have a VM on both boxes that is dedicated to O2K7 and another dedicated to O2K3. For my needs, it's the perfect solution.
