Virtual machines are almost as good as the real machine. Before getting
hold of an old system[0] to use as a testing box just for 11.0, I was
doing alpha testing on a virtual machine. I still do testing on the VM,
but when problems arise, I check to see if it's reproducible on real
hardware.

[0] It's not really that old. I think it's possibly between two and four
years old but it still does the job and, even though it's only got 256MB
RAM, it's still usable.
