I have just about all of the OS's setup in various VMs. I started using VMs a while back and with the portability of them you cant beat it. I have found the best way to do this is to install a 64 bit version of Linux (I use CentOS) and install all the windows as VMs. I have noticed NO speed decrease by doing this. I recommend using at least 1.5 megs of RAM and a 2.8 gig Duo Core processor. If you just want to play download Knoppix and it works great.

I have a computer at my desk that is dual boot with windows XP and Debian Linux, I have a computer in my work room that runs SUSE Linux and another one that dual boots SUSE Linux and Windows XP. I have a server running Debian Linux with no GUI installed, and I have a laptop dual booting with Windows XP and Fedora Core Linux. I prefer the options and power I have with the Linux OS's, but this is a Windows dependent world we live in. Try and get Samsung Offiserve software to run on a *nix OS. That is the only reason I have dual boot computers around at all. With all the virus and spyware apps written for windows it is too much hassle. Granted having my own business doing computer repairs I make a lot of money off of windows so I don't regret its existence by any means, but there are two things that make me cash when they get combined: 1) something labeled as "FREE" on the internet and 2) someone on a windows machine that finds and installs it.
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and panicking like the passengers in his car.

I run FreeBSD on most systems, with a single
multi-boot system running XP/NetBSD/FreeBSD, and
a plamtop running NetBSD.
My router at home is a FreeBSD box, as are my mail/web server, file server, workstation (3 heads), several scratch boxes, and my trusty old laptop.
I have one box running CentOS/TrixBox at home, and a couple more in the networking lab at school, along with a pair of workstations running FreeBSD and Fedora core 5.
Still to come: some flavor of linux/unix+MythTV for DVR usage.

FreeBSD for all our Internet-exposed systems (DNS, mail, web, FTP -- can you tell I'm self-hosted yet?)
Windows 2000 Pro for most of our workstations.
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 for the single box running Hirsch's SAM software (for our access control system).
MS-DOS 6.22 for two systems that need to stay "legacy" due to specialized Motorola radio programming/servicing software.
No XP, no Vista, and don't want either one. In fact, I won't allow systems running either to be connected to our LAN, period.
Keep the peace(es).
