You can use Windows Virtual PC. see: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/default.aspx. That willl run 32 bit os-es without problems.

Thanks for your addition. You’re absolutely right.
The thing that wonders me a little about this is that MS states that they are going to support BTS on W2k8R2 not before second half 2010. Seems a little late to me :-(

I hope this will change soon, but now for production you should go for Windows Server 2008.

You can boot your Win7 machine from a VHD. Inside that VHD, you can install Windows Server 2008R2 (see here how to go about it: http://blog.frankovic.net/2009/05/boot-win-2008-r2-rc-from-vhd/).

Once you’ve installed Win2K8R2 into your VHD, you can boot form it and just install BizTalk Server 2009 on it.

It is a bit more of a hassle than using Virtual PC or VMWare, but at least it allows you to carry your BTS2009 dev environment with you without needing 2 separate machines, and it give you the benefit of better performance because you’re running on the “bare metal” (except the hard disk, of course)
