I want to create a number of virtual machine environments for testing new beta releases - Windows 7, VS2010, Windows Server 2008 and so on. My host OS is Windows XP. What is the best way of going about this?
Thanks
If you have no budget, use Virtual Box. I'm happily testing all the apps and O/S you mentioned in it on my home PC.
depends on your budget. probably you'll end-up getting vmware server.
if you can afford running additional box - consider installing there esxi.
in both cases - the more ram, the better.
you try centos 5.3 with xen kernel
