Virtulisation
Recently found Virtual Pc 2007. Looks pretty good. My question to you are the VHD's transferable to the likes of VMware (or what ever its called?) or is it fresh install time?

Anyway Virtual PC is pish, Microsoft[Nothing against them] hypervisor is good but pretty out of debth compared to rest.. sam vmware or Xen.

Been using Sun VirtualBox lately for my IE6 test machine, works really well, has a desktop hybrid mode (so virtual apps float over your normal desktop) and supports x64.

Re: Virtulisation
Just now I'm installing vmware esxi 4.0 on a BL20p Gen4 HP blade, its an opteron 3Ghz chip and I have no idea how its going to handle vms. I've never used any amd chips in the work place but some peopl swear by them for performance vs buck. Anyone have any experiance of amd server chips? If so how do they preform to intel in relation to virtulisation?
