If you orient it the right way such that the exhaust air exits near the floor, one of the dogs will tend to situate himself right next to it as well. :-)

Right now, I'd only need the VM to be to potentially deal with really old stuff. That doesn't often come up. Eg. I've never needed to revisit my old GEM Ventura Publisher files, but if I did I'd likely have problems. ;-) Both machines I've bought in past 6 months used Win7 64 but I don't expect to move to it for my "main" desktop machine(s) until 2013-2015.
