Anyone that hasn't done so must try Virtual PC if they want to do the following...

*Run two Operating Systems on one computer at the same time
*Run Linux without affecting any other install
*Mess with Server/older OS/LH and Vista

Just thought you may be interested, i believe microsoft offer a trial of it.

(if this interests you, why not check out Virtual server, not the same thing as such but interesting stuff all the same)
