I think it's too expensive to run a VM on 6 machines, or am I wrong?

Michael,

> So we've made the decision to go with either an XP system or a Win 7 32-bit system.  Looks like new 32 bit systems are getting scarce.  Does anyone have a recommendation?

I recommend purchasing a 64-bit system and if you're committed to a

32-bit system, run your 32-bit system in a VM using one of several free

VM products out there. If you're on the fence about XP vs. Win 7 (and

have licenses for both), then create a VM for both and then migrate to

Win 7 at your leisure.

I can't think of a single reason to purchase a 32-bit system these days.

Malcolm
