Slightly off-topic - given developing on virtual machines seems to be the norm nowadays, has anyone considered using Citrix XenClient ( http://citrix.com/xenclient)?
It's a bare-metal hypervisor similar to ESX, but runs on desktop/laptop hardware and (obviously) has the ability to use VMs on the same machine. I've got a compatible machine, but haven't had the chance to swap over the HD and play around with it.
