A basic Windows XP machine can do a lot of things. Apart from facilitating an environment for a user's applications, it can do things like self maintenance, updates, hardware changes, etc. This is nice in a physical environment with lots of different pieces of hardware but in a virtual instance things hardly change, the environment is pretty much set and all tricks to speed things up usually have an adverse effect on the infrastructure.

VMware new product releases
