Hi all,
After being hit from time to time with some hardware crashes I am thinking on creating a Virtual Machine with Win7, VS, MS-SQL, SF, etc. to have this as my main dev platform.  I am thinking that in case of hardware crash, it should be fairly easy to recover a VM instead of having to re-install all the tools we use all the time.

I use Virtual Machines to test my applications, but never as the main dev environment, is anybody here using a VM this way?

My choice of VM would be VMware Workstation

I would appreciate any suggestions, comment, licensing issues in this regard.
