    I have a typical Windows XP and Windows 2000 installation setup in Virtual PC and it's been a huge help with testing.

    What I did was I originally installed every possible browser version of different browsers (I'm roughly around 100 at this point) then I enabled the disk rollback feature. Now I can install something and rollback the disk so there are absolutely no traces left of the old application. Very very useful in testing applications and installations.

    Virtual PC is very nice tool [no doubt] but it comes with price thou - each instance requires at least 1GB of memory so 2GB at least must be installed.
