style='font-size:12.0pt'>Have you considered running ESXi and all of the
operating systems you need on top of it? Compatibility (apart from hardware)
should not be an issue in such a setup and performance would be better if you
require multiple virtual machines running at the same time. If you
intermittently need a few virtual machines, then Virtualbox is certainly a
great solution as I use it too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
