Thanks to all who replied to this question
stated below.
Attached is copy of all replies.
Some of you asked me to share the replies with the group.
Added comments:
Most people who responded thought that VMWare
is a better solution and would highly recommend it. Others that I have
talked with thought that Virtuozzo is not there yet although it will improve in
the future.
In talking with a Microsoft rep I learned
that with Virtuozzo you can run up to 4 free Windows Server VMs.
Firm.

Subject: To Virtualize or not
Virtualization is something that I have been thinking about
lately but there are so many pros and cons and probabilities and possibilities
one can find oneself in analysis paralyses very quickly.
Is there anyone who has taken the leap and virtualized some
or all their production boxes and if so any advice/pitfalls/benefits that you
could provide would be greatly appreciated? What are you using for your
Host server(s) (Open-Source, VMware or Microsoft Virtual Server).
Happy Holidays to all!
