Default YOu are using VM ( Virtual Machine) for ?
As the title said, what are you doing with your VM ? Do you use it in production or just for testing?

Testing on my computer via VMware Workstation.

Production on my home server via Hyper-V role. It may seem silly (mainly just lazy) but I run a Server 2003 R2 VM on my 2008 R2 server to do web hosting. Mainly because my 2008 has IIS installed to support WSUS and I couldn't be arsed to muck around with settings to change ports

Finally getting off my ass and learning some programming. Start the downloads, go eat supper, come back and have Ubuntu running in a self-contained environment where Python is native.

Mostly testing Various OS's like Linux, Unix, non Microsoft OS's , I also use my VM with an Win7x64 to make portable software and portable games. it makes it allot easier because after you make the portable I can uninstall the software and my OS is fresh to make a new Portable.
