Virtual PC - COOL, FUN and most of all, IT'S FREE
Are you a .NET developer who's tired of crashing your own operating system everytime you want to do some "beta" testing?
Well, FRET no more. You can now create an exact replica of your host environment or any other operating system for that matter using Virtual PC. Crash it with your bike or however you like and it will still boot up brand new like the OS that came with your brand new PC. Don't you just love the smell of a fresh PC out of the box. Speaking of new PCs, do get one that's VISTA ready or you'll be severely obsolete like transistor radios. And yes, you can also load VISTA into your virtual machine. How cool is that?
Anyway, did I mention earlier that Virtual PC is FREE? Click here https://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/downloads/sp1.mspx to download it. There's also a virtualization solution for servers as well which is also known as Virtual Server.
