So, Im using an old Mid 2007 15" MBP that was handed down to me and whilst it is getting slow, its still useable for most of what I do, however there is an issue.

I'm an IT consultant/engineer by trade and most of what I do is on MS products (simply cause here thats whats used most in industry). This is where the issue comes in, as the MBP is aging, its not really strong enough to run a Win7 VM anymore.

Im liking the size of the MBA and that is drawing me closer and closer to that form factor.

I'm planning an upgrade soon and wondering if people have any experience of running a windows 7 VM inside the 128GB model of either the 11 or 13" models. I really want to get an air due to the Ultrabook size and also cause I love mac so much, but dont really want to be lugging something heavier about.
