Virtualization: cheaper development & deployment environments

So, you don´t have a server at home or can´t stay at your client's cold room, and you need to do some tests in a sort of infrastructure. Well, then the only chance to have access to these resources is by using a virtualization software, that allows a single host computer to create and run one or more virtual environments.

The options:

VMware Home
Virtual PC Home
VirtualBox Home
Parallels

If you are using Virtual PC, this links are usefull:
