VM's are definitely the way to go. Keep all the versions of Windows around to boot up as needed. Use Linux or Mac as the host. VMWare is still the best.

Had a bugger of a problem recently that I was struggling to repro until the client mentioned they were on WinXP!

Decisions, decisions....what would you do? I'm guessing "just buy the 2nd machine for a better long-term plan" (due to hardware life expectancy).
"long term plan" with regard to Windows makes me LOL. :)
