It may be that other VMs are more capabable, but this one comes with the OS (assuming you have Pro, and nobody should have anything less than Win7 Pro). This is my favorite Windows version since 2000, and already surpasses it in my mind in terms of being such a huge win for everybody in terms of both ease of use and performance. -- David W.

Build quality is good for a very reasonable price and with the SSD installed, it flies. Only problem is now it's faster than my Core 2 Duo desktop so the upgrade bug will start to bite once again.
