 I think we - as a group - tend to think VM Ware when we talk about the topic.

There are *many* different Virualization options out there  and focusing on one 
would do us all a disservice.

Mike and Rob have been doing good things w/ VM Ware at work and home; I'm 
getting up to speed on Xen.  Anyone else willoing to pick up another option and 
run with it?

We could have a night where we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of 3-4 
differen technologies...

Next question:

I want to burn a CD while in a VM, how well does that work out?


I've had issues burning with a VM running. Namely, I'll try to burn on my Linux host and the M$ VM will keep attempting to grab the disk and read it... the result is a lovely coaster.

What I've done is turn off the CD-Rom access in my M$ VM.

I've not tried to burn a disk in a Linux VM.
