Is guest safe enough to store data in it?
I am a little worrying that virtual disk is just one file on host computer.
If something happens to guest what chances are to retrieve data from it?
Your comments appreciated,
Jack

No. It is a virtualization program like VPC but whereas VPC is for client
operating systems and gives them the same user perspective as Windows on the
physical computer, VS is for administering guest servers through an
interface more familiar to network administrators. VS is also free and can
be run on the same computer as VPC.
