John I have only used then for two things. Running MS beta software which means I can isolate the stuff form my PC and for running stuff in work. The work stuff runs on Virtual Servers, for example SharePoint, SQL Server etc as a development environment. I have had an entire virtual network running on an XP pc, Win Server 2003, 2 XP Pro clients but one of our Server guys set it all up for me and it worked really well. Mainly we have been playing about with Virtual Machines but I suspect we will move into this area especially application virtulisation. One thing they did tell me was the more RAM the better!
