If I ever need to re-install Windows - I did recently due to a problem with Win 7 - all I need to do is make a current backup of my data and then copy my Win 7 backup back to my Mac. Update my data and I'm back to square one in about 1/25th the time it would normally take.

I do the same thing using ghost on my pc and I don't have the slow response of a virtual machine...
