For quick tests, I'm using VirtualBox on my desktop (Windows) PC in the meantime - runs fast and reliably. But in the past, I sometimes had the need to run some Windows-only software 24/7, and since I don't have any real machine which runs Windows 24/7, I used to run a Windows VM on my (old) Gentoo server (which has much RAM and CPU power - so it doesn't affect normal server operation). Worked for years without any flaw. I don't have the need to run a Windows VM 24/7 on my new Gentoo server at the moment, but I'd appreciate to know that I *could* do it again if needed. > Did you check that the BIOS is fully uptodate and doesn't have any bugs in > the > virtualization support? No. But I don't have any idea how to check this anyway. -Matt
