    It would be VMWare running on Windows I suspect. It is really not too
    bad. VMWare is actually pretty good when you use the server products. I
    know of companies that have their file server, PDC, email server and a
    few other servers all running on one GIGANTIC 4 proc monster server
    with excellent results.
