Part of my rational for fancying giving it a try is that I can back up an image of the virtual machine once built and working properly, then in the event of corruption (like I've just had, where selecting BC_4x_Mill in Machine Parameters now defaults to BC_3x_Mill Machine Definition, giving problems with 4-axis posting) or other issues, I could be back up and running in seconds with a clean copy of the original VM build.
It also offers the possibility of using BCC anywhere in the house on any device with a suitable browser running ;-)
