But our development machines are mostly (95%) Windows 32bit systems and I had in mind to use VirtualPC in order to have the developers running Linux on their own Windows machines for compiles etc. Then we would use a single hardware Linux machine for actual testing. Unfortunately VirtualPC2007 does not support loading anything else than 32 bit operating systems into a virtual machine, so we are left with that. We use VPC2007 a lot for testing purposes, so we are comfortable with that system except for the 64bit support (or lack thereof).
