Great find, I particularly like 18 & 19. Most tips are relevant for VMWare as well (er, not that anybody uses VMWare of course!)

Yes Alistair,
This indeed came across @ the right time!
But, I would say that VMWare is popular too

hi, how can a create vpc’s but using a domain account instead of a local account, and how i have to configure the internet connections in that case.
a step by step or something like it.

Hi Hema,
I am assuming that you want to have a step by step guide to using VPC connected to a real (production) environment. This would mean that VPC would be connected to the domain and hence using domain accounts.
Is this what you are after?
