If you have a good amount of memory I think VMs are the way to go. I prefer VMware but then again I have not used newer versions of Virtual PC. The other reason VMs (VMware) are nice because you can use .iso instead of an actual CDROM. This is nice when doing answer files you don't have to continuously burn a CD to test.

I just fired up Virtual Box with a fresh install of XP myself. I Probably should go with VM Ware since it is the most well known virtualization platform. With that said, Virtual Box will provide you with all if not most of the features you will need more most virtual machine uses.
