    I drove up to the Huntington ATM in Delaware once and saw the Windows XP boot splash screen, then BSOD, then boot loop, over and over... I was surprised that ATM's weren't based on some kind of hardened Linux. Most "appliance" type devices are these days. At least in my industry.. PBX switch gear, DVR's, conference bridge, access points, etc..

  2. I have MS SQL running as a VMware (4.1) VM. No issues. As people have said before, make sure you have your I/O planned out, and make sure your VM's don't cause swapping (page file) and you should be OK. Memory Ballooning is a good feature but can be an issue with too much RAM assigned to a guest because there might be a performance hit reclaiming that (shared) RAM.
