Moving around a VirtualBox virtual machine worked great for our team. It's mostly just drag and drop, and saves massive time for installation of Wind River and LabView, et al.

Plus being able to save machine state is invaluable. I'd highly recommend teams with a technical background to give it a whirl; the first few days were excruciating trying to find a fast way to get the build environment on multiple laptops and workstations. You can't beat transferring an already-configured machine over the network
