Hi Nightfox,

That's the same reason I'd like to P2V, saves energy and I'll be able to
continue running 64-bit host OSes. I also like the idea of being able to backup
the entire environment with a single VM flatfile.

How is Parallels? I've not got any Apple hardware these days but a few people I
know are using Parallels as their VM solution.

Kind regs,
