Ha.
I was confusing myself there Jim. 
I have now installed the Sun virtual box but it didn't take the OS from my
pre-installed software.
Surely I don't have to go buy another version of my OS  when I have aleady
paid for this one?

Any thoughts>

Max

I suppose you have a Terabyte drive(s) or larger... 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.

I am just on the point of installing this on my Win 7 PC but thought it
prudent to see if you guys have any thoughts one way or the other.

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.

Max
