Sorry for the delay...
I haven't checked this thread for a few days... If you want to read about PC virtualisation (from M$ perspective) - go to:-

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx

There are other options on the market (VMWare is, i believe, the market leader - but I could be wrong - which we are using on a current data centre virtualisation project)

The M$ VirtualPC is a free download - but, as pointed out earlier in this thread - there may be licensing issues involved which you would need to clarify for your circumstance. My thought on this would be that, unless you were running multiple virtual PCs concurrently, you would have a strong argument that you only need one windows license - because you only had the OS installed on one PC at any one time (I can't see how anyone can mistake an inactive PC image for a "real" PC). Thankfully, I'm no lawyer - but M$ are in business to make money - so you'd have to check the small print to see what I've missed...

Sorry I'm so vague on the license implications - as I work for an enterprise with volume licensing agreements (and other arrangements) with M$ that allow me to be lazy, when it comes to counting licenses - a luxury which I realise home users are unlikely to have...

regards
