Well, I suppose you could run multiple Virtual PC sessions with a server and one or more client workstations, no reason that wouldn't work.

You'd be as busy as a one armed paperhanger trying to juggle all of those VM sessions on one screen!

Actually this is very doable. I have it setup like that now. LOL

I have multiple VM's too, but I also have three screens on the machine.
