I’m not a huge fan of virtualization in production environments (feels an
awful lot like putting all your eggs in one basket and slowing everything
down in the process) but you cannot beat it for testing.

Today I found out that VMWare server is now free for download. Their major
upsell is service contracts and add-ons, but if you don’t tend to use
that or need it for testing and you run Windows but want to run other
operating systems or perform potentially dangerous tests, this is the
software for you.
