Re: JAVA coding environment

The problem is that Microsoft's draconian licensing doesn't play
well in virtual machines, especially when you're changing the
configuration.
Another place it falls down is training. I'd like to keep a catalog of

images that I can load 30 copies for two days and then get rid of.

Vista Enterprise and Ultimate+SA allow the base hardware plus 4 running
VMs per license and an unlimited number of non-running VMs. This also
applies to XP under volume-license downgrade rights. If you need 30
copies you should be on volume licensing anyway.

Staying on XP is just silly. It's a 7 year old OS and is end-of-support
in just over 6 months. .. and staying on 2000? Well, that was
end-of-support over 3 years ago.
