Just so people don't jump at me for xp and vista I need them both to test software compliance for work.

As NOS said, I can test out a half dozen servers on a single machine, and switch between OSes at the press of a keystroke. No boot-up time, no shutdown time. VM's are insanely convenient for development environments.
I'm basically setting up this one VM, and then going to clone it across multiple VM's so I can test out some migration strategies for this site as well as do development for other personal websites without the need to pay up front for a hosting environment.
Multiple site development, zero cost.
win-win.
