Just about the only thing we aren’t virtualizing yet are databases. I think that, in time, we will convince the PTBs that virtualization can be a good thing for any purpose (with a few specific exceptions).

As a Microsoft MVP, I do a lot of presentations, so I’m always using VMs at my presentations. My laptop has 4 or 5 Windows 2003 Server VMs that I take with me and use for various presentations.
