I've got 6 Linux boxes set up with 16GB RAM and 500GB hard drives, running VBox and 6 virtual machines, each running Win XP in a 10GB drive space and 1.2 MB of RAM. Each XP instance is set to reboot every night and it works well.
I haven't tried Win 7 or 10 or any other OS as this setup provides exactly what I need.
Very stable, little to no maintenance, but I do monitor it daily.

I'm going to let my main dev machine do the free upgrade to Win10 soon. I bought a Win7 Pro license yesterday to put on another older Dell laptop I've got (where I currently have Linux Mint on it). Tech buddy here at the Corporate gig suggested I get Virtual Box (free!) to host multiple OSes. I searched the archive for the past year and didn't find much other than a stray reference to it.
Anyone using Virtual Box and can attest to their experience with it?
Thanks, --Mike
