Another hearty vote for VMWare Workstation - been using it for a few years now - since ver 3. It is solid and backups, restores and upgrading to new hardware are so simple - they are just a question of copying files back and forth - no problems with doing reinstalls, dirvers etc! I keep all code on another machine & use the network to access it from the development VM so the devo VM rarely changes. The additional snapshot feature in the VM allows you to save a copy of the machine then make any changes (eg installing new/suspect programs, writing errant code) and then rollback to the saved copy in a matter of minutes. It works great for too if you set up another VM for testing - the snapshot and rollback features allow you to always have a guaranteed constant starting point. Another happy camper, John
