VirtualPC/VMWare on your SQL box?

I’d like to do a post or two on running SQL Server 2005 within a virtual machine.  Before I get into all sorts of fun details on this, I’d like to ask you guys to write in and tell me about what whether you are doing this or not.

It’s ok, I don’t get paid by the man anymore, you can tell me ;).  Even if they did still pay me, I’m curious. 

So, who’s got a SQL 2005 Server running in a virtual pc?  in an VMWare ESX server?  How’s that working out for ya?

Email me at conor@sqlskills.com!  I want to hear from you!

Who was smart enough to sell their VMWare stock on the way up but not smart enough to sell their EMC stock? (that would be me).

Thanks,

Conor
