Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Your main VM purpose?

showing off to friends that I can have 6+ different os's running at once...
...but really, same reasons as some other people: running programs in a controlled environment that may mess up your system and/or running programs that aren't compatible with vista
using zune/itunes in a VM is an interesting idea...but can you actually sync a zune/ipod to a VM..?
my vm's
VMware: OSX 10.2
VirtualPC: win2k, winXP, winVista, win7, Ubuntu, SuSE

I started using vm (XP)at work after my last workstation died to use software that doesn't have full compatibility with vista. Saved us from a $5000 software upgrade, or a format with a XP pro disk purchase.
I also use it to screw around with *nix at home.

Home(ESXi):
-Proof of concept lab for iSCSI/ESX/general testing. Mainly because my company is too cheap to invest in a testing lab.
-Content delivery for my VMC/Extender devices.
Work(VC/ESX):
-Sandboxing application servers without spending a ton on dedicated hardware.
-Creating a HA environment for production critical services without the use of costly and flaky clustering offerings.
-Quick deployment of new servers.
