Virtualizing Vista
Tuesday, September 12th, 2006
One of the best ways to test a new (or old) operating system is to install it in a virtual 
environment. Instead of messing with physical hardware, you create virtual disks, run processes on a virtual CPU, test what happens when you add some virtual memory, and save the whole thing as a file that you can restore in a few minutes.
I’ve been running various builds of Windows Vista in virtual machines for months now, but not without a lot of pain. And recent builds have been particularly troublesome.
Windows Vista RC1 installs and runs just fine on Microsoft’s free Virtual Server 2005 R2. It also reportedly installs and runs on VMWare Server, although I haven’t personally tested this combination. ยป Virtualizing Vista | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com
