Sure, it's the whole install process, but I can run it from my workstation without rebooting, I don't need hard media, etc. It's not without limitations - don't expect accelerated 3D drivers to do anything - but it cut my testing iterations from 40-60 minutes + the cost of media to 20 minutes. It's a very worthwhile investment, IMHO. Klaus
