What do you do if you had access to just one machine (say your personal

jump the wagon little bit ahead of time and do some testing, before
settling down with the stable version for the next 2-3 years.
I think in that case, you should leave the testing up to the people who
do. There is a wide variety of virtualization software now that can be
used for this kind of testing.
Virtualbox for example can run entirely off software, without the need
for virtualization support in the CPU (although much slower).
