For me, multi-booting is out of the question. Been there, done that.

Just the pain of having to 'reboot' and wait for another start-up.

The idea of being able to remain in your base OS (in my case that
would be XP Home) and just clicking some icon to start another OS
is very intriguing...and convenient.

Also, it sounds like it will be no big deal to make copies of the Virtual
PC itself, so that I can wipe one out completely and start over without
actually having to reinstall the VPC software. I hope I understood that
correctly from Richard's post.
