Seemed to work just fine for 90% of my stuff.

MS apps, email, etc, EXCEPT, when I went into SQL/Server enterprise maanger and told it to "discover" the available databases, Windows bluescreened.

Hmmm.

Then, the Visual Studio install failed, wierdly.

I'm much happier using VMWare ESX with a Windows 2003 server instance as my "desktop". It ALWAYS works. um, well, I mean, usually. Hey, it's still windows after all.
