Want to test Vista risk free? Try virtualization

shouldn’t there be a way for modern computer users to test Microsoft’s Windows Vista before making the deep commitment of buying and installing it on their PCs?
There is, using virtualization software. Virtualization is one of the hottest server-side trends today. The technology lets IT managers run multiple applications, with each encapsulated in its own "virtual machine" a setup that protects them from crashing one another and minimizes security risks. By letting servers safely run multiple workloads, IT managers can save bucketloads on hardware purchases.
Maximizing CPU usage is less important for desktop users. But virtualization can still be useful, letting users try out applications and even operating systems without having to formally install them. Want to test Vista risk-free? Try virtualization
