Hello,

I personally use VMWare to run Windows under Linux. I have parallel
snapshots, one for each version of MSVC. It solves the troubles that
one can encounter when installing different versions of MSVC on the
same machine due to their difficulties to coexist. This finally makes
virtual machines useful not only for Linux developers who want to
ensure Windows compatibility of their programs, but also for Windows
developers who don't want to pollute their system with 3 or 4
different MSVCs.
