Yeah, I installed HyperV 2008 Rs server, but it has to run as it's on os, not as a VM under Windows 7. I have a multi-boot menu, which I guess I may have to use, or else bite the bullet and get a copy of VM Ware.

These days I use VMWare workstation though. Better snapshotting, 64-bit capable, multi-core configuration. Though the Hyper-V solution from Microsoft has these too.
