Virtual Machines

I Love them. I have been building virtual machines, faking computers out of software, since 1970.

The latest publicly available VM include Windows-based products.

I am not using them. Why?

I am not using them because I want a fair appraisal of Office2007 on my system.
VMs protect me from vagaries of a product, but they run slow, and their graphic output leaves much to be desired.

I want this to be a real-world trial.
