I have used MS Virtual PC extensively to construct individual training environments.

I really like the functionality, but note that is is a huge memory hog. The "window" is actually an emulated session that heavily taxes the resources of the host machine.

To use it, your really need some decent memory (we used 1GB minimum). I don't readily recall the actual requirement... but it is a consideration.

I have this XP set up running on 128megs. VirtPC uses about 14megs by itself. It does put quite a load on the system, but this old 733 run well with it.

edit: 128megs is amount reserved for the virtXP OS. each OS you install has a pre set amount of memory that it takes over on loading. I have 98 setup with 64megs and 95 has 32megs.
