Be sure to start with the ones that you think are the most stable and result in the least pollution of your system. Then, leaving the original VM that started with alone, you take the Work clone and load your just your work applications onto it. Name one "CleanWork" and the other "CleanPersonal". With VMWare, cloning an existing virtual machine is child's play. Once you've set up your pristine virgin copy of Windows in a VM (let's name it "FreshWin") with all the necessary security patches and some base applications (eg: your favorite Web browser) that you know to be trouble free - before doing anything else - you make two clones of it. That is just one benefit of virtual machine software like VMWare's Workstation. So, imagine if you could restore your system to that point that it was working perfectly, application software and all, with just a few clicks. Or, even right after something as simple as visiting a Web site. It might have been when you loaded that shareware. But if you ask most users, they're usually able to give you an approximation of when the system was working perfectly and when things started to go downhill. Indeed, such wipes and reloads are daunting tasks. In my life, I have never met anyone who hasn't either wiped their system clean in order to restore it to its virgin state (unpolluted by who-knows-what) or who wanted to but was too scared to do it. So, why does it make sense for an ordinary user to have this sort of industrial strength on their systems? Well, even before getting to the security benefits of running multiple partitioned operating systems on one computer there's one benefit that everyone will love: the ability to start over with a pristine copy of Windows with just a few clicks.
