        Sure.

        I do it all the time. I used to have a separate machine running  
Win2K TS, and use Microsoft Remote Desktop from my Mac to connect to  
the TS session on that server. But now I have several VMs with  
Microsoft OSs, as well as several Linux VMs, and I run them all on my  
MacBook.

        Exactly. Each different VM is simply a file; a hard disk image that  
the VM software uses. Each OS is installed on a different disk image.

        What's cool now is that I'm working on a Python project that needs  
to run in Windows, but I much prefer to edit the code in BBEdit, a  
Mac text editor. So I set up the project folder on my Mac, and then  
configure the WinXP VM to share that folder. So I can edit the code  
in BBEdit, and then click on the adjoining WinXP window and test it.  
Click back, edit some more, click back, test, etc.
