   Fully agreed. Win2k was far simpler but XP did
   serve fairly well. After that - buggier, bulkier,
   stupider.

   I've got VMs on several different drives, some
   sitting on shelves, some in external USB enclosures.
   I'll have to look for the Win2k VM. Have a bunch of
   'em somewhere - including CP/M-86, Win1.1, old DOS
   (with MS/IBM 'C' & Pascal compilers). One great
   pride of my crap collection is a BYTE magazine
   with a REVIEW of Win-1.1 (it was HORRIBLE btw).

   I usually use a laptop now and it doesn't have
   all THAT much SSD space. Only VM on it right
   now is FreeBSD.
