Hi,
there's another option: You can install on a virtual disk (vhd) and boot your system from it. You won't be able to move the vhd to a system with different hardware, but the performance degradation compared with a "real" install is only 3% according to MS, and the original installation on your machine remains untouched.

You don't need the overhead of running 2 operating systems at once. I use the free SQL Server 2008 personal edition. On top of that I install the 7.6.4 Suite stack install. That install only takes around 40 minutes or so. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium with 8 Gig on an i5-2450M. You will be surprised how easy this setup is to get going and how well it performs.

I want to buy a laptop and also use it to host an ITSM platform for sandbox or testing or demos. Here are some questions: 1. Mac or PC? 2. Solid state hd or standard? 3. If Mac, how good is parallels to host the environment? What about VMWARE? 4. If PC,is VMware the preferred platform to host the env on? 5. I'm assuming I have to pay for licenses of SQL server and Win Server. Is this correct? 6. Is it just cheaper to build a server at home to host this and just VPN in using any laptop? If I'm missing something, let me know. I just want to make an educated decision before plopping down a bunch of cash. Also, maybe this thread can be used as a good reference for someone looking to do this in the future.
