This looks pretty good. I've been reading about it at Microsoft.com
and I
think I am going to go with the Hyper-V solution.


Make sure you can live without USB and/or serial port virtualization
before
you commit to HyperV. I need to interface with external devices via USB in
my VM's, so HyperV did not work for me.

Now I have to pick out the hardware to run it.

I have had good and bad experiences with Dell...the most recent being
incredibly bad...so maybe I need to expand my horizons.

Where do the people on this list purchase windows hardware and do you
guys
have any problems getting the customizations you want (i.e....a
specific
piece of hardware and a specific OS together?) Dell's online
configuration
tool is limited in what it will allow you to do, and I know I can call
and
talk to their customer support but that's a headache all by itself that
I
want to avoid if I can.

I have had good luck with Dell, so I continue to use them. For my
development machine, I use the "Workstation" class of machines (ie:
Precision). I load them up with lots of RAM, mirrored drives, and a good
video card that supports multiple monitors at high resolutions.
