VMware Workstation 6 is pretty nice once you take the time to set it up.
Still working on it and have some others to install.

all virtual disks are on a
Western Digital 250GB USB drive that I take back and forth from home to work and run all of them from either system.

I have been using the VM's Mac workstation client VM Fusion for several months now. Really cool stuff.

Yeah I've been using VMware for a while now and really like it.

The nice part now is the little WD hard drive. It has no power AC cable, it all runs from just the USB cable and if my hand was a little bigger you could hide it in your hand.

I transport the drive between work and home and I have VMware on both computers. Home is an AMD work is an Intel and both run all the hosts virtual machines from the WD hard drive. Sweet as heck.

Well, VMWare has added a bunch of sweet features since the 5.x release. It keeps getting better and better, only irritation right now is that a new release always requires an uninstallation and then installation..
Doc, you running ACE with the disk, or?

No, this is just all local install for my own use. We don't use it for any actual user desktops at this time.

Been using VMWare WS6 for about a year to create msi packages on and test my scripting ideas which may break AD's ;\)

Well once, about a decade ago I did break the AD with some script I didn't even really knew what I was doing with security descriptors back then so no one could enter the root domain anymore.... deleted all the aces ;\)
Ever since I did everything on my own server (separate setup) first and lateron in vmware when that came into the picture \:\)
