Seriously looking into virtualization.
Since I reinstalled Windows 98SE on my XP system, I've been looking into virtualization so I can run both simultaneously. Having to reboot to switch between them is a big pain in the buttocks.

My only roadblock for virtualization is my pokey old 700MHz Athlon motherboard with 256MB RAM. It's OK for the "dual boot" (aka reboot-and-switch), but I want that virtualization since I want to not only boot XP and 98SE, but whatever *nix I choose to install.

I'll either have to start saving for upgrades, or luck out and find some VM ware that can work on my machine. Either way, I'll spend the time looking at the available options out there. happy
