Am I alone in thinking that emulating a physical machine, installing an operating system on that virtual physical machine and so on and end up with two operating systems running in parallel on the same physical machine which needs to be patched and maintained is not an elegant solution? After a while, every developer might have five machines which he need to keep patched and maintained.

Personally I just have VMware Workstation for this at home and VMWare ESX cluster at work.
