Hi,
I’ve used Virtual PC for a lot og my BizTalk installs (2004, and 2006), and it works a treat. A few tips:
Go for min 512 meg ram.
Maintain your DBs, and delete the backup files (if you can) to keep the image size down.
Watch out for fragmentation as you work with the image for a while.
Sometimes the performance suffers a bit, it’s not a good way to work if you like to stress test things a log.
One other great feature is the \”Undo Disks\” that allow you to install you pre-reqs, then enable undo disks, then go for the BizTalk install. If it goes bad, you can abandon all the changes.
