    How far are you intending on going with your virtualization? For my studies for the 70-443 I have downloaded VMWare ESXi and I have 3 Server 2003 (two node cluster + a DC) systems and a Linux VM for iSCSA SAN. My lab is pretty complicated.

    Virtual PC is easier to set up and use. I think VMWare server is a little harder to setup, but is a great product. If you only want a simple test environment go with Virtual PC as it is what you know. If you have the hardware and want a challenge download ESXi.

    Here are two links that might help you with VMWare Server...
