Any of you played with Virtual PC?

Am I missing something when it comes to a functionality comparison? The stations this will get put on need it to mimic our customer's workstations. Those are almost entirely Windows systems with a few Macs (Our agents already have a Intel and a Mac on their desks.) The problem that has arisen is that since we were bought and our product is now part of a so called suite of applications, our agents now support an expanded number of apps. (Our customer helpdesk {back when we were independant} was known to customers and competition as the best . Someone in upper management noticed this and our location is now the support center for the whole product line.) Some of these apps only work on specific versions of Windows. Bleeggh.
What we would like to do is make sure they all have large hard drives with enough RAM to have 3 or 4 virtual systems running at once. Have any of you seen a workup that compares VMWare with any other virtual system products? I have an aversion to taking the lowest priced solution. But I have no figures to take to the decision makers.
Advice? Links? Opinions?
