For XP it saved my back.
I have a corporate issued Dell laptop that I really only use for email and the corporate intranet.
I bring my personal 17 inch Mac to work for my daily tasks.
There is a Mac VPN client for our firewall but the IT guys insist that they need to install it but they admit they do not know Macs and although it is an install that my 6 year old can do I refuse to let them touch my Mac.
So by running XP in a Winow on my Mac I have full access to everything, don't need to let IT touch my Mac and best of all I can carry one computer that does the same job as both.
I have some side projects were I manage a couple of dedicated linux servers for a gaming company and an ecommerce company. I plan on replicating the servers locally so I can test upgrades and develop scripts before putting them on a live production server.
I can also test the servers/scripts for compatability under different platforms without having to move from one computer to another.
