MSFT cost analysis link below - also visited VMware page. Implementation looks to be cost prohibitive vs. my solution and virtualbox.org (free). My proposed solution is < $200 and easy to implement, consumer friendly b/c it's common.
Jumped to VMware homepage and costs jump into $1.5k range into the thousands. Prob. could find for free but i'm not savvy enough to find free software unless it's free to begin with (aka free @ homepage). VMware looks like a no go.
Virtualbox still looks promising. Must determine 2 things - Vista 64 capable and usb support. Can't argue with free. Still investigating....

On a side note look at how virtualization can save a big corporation money when used a enterprise solution. I'm not a IT guy but dollar figures don't lie.
