I love to virtualise my work pc. Although that required to run on top of a virtualisation software, it may not run that fast. However, it is easy to be manage. I just need to write a copy file script to copy the VM files from the host to the backup! If we have some hardware problems on the physical host, I need to move the VM files to other host. The maximum download time will be around 2 to 3 hours. That is quite cool!
