In theory yes. I have not had the chance to try it out though. Keep in mind though this is a little different then something like VMWARE. We have a huge server and just devide up RAM, CPU and disk space and the VPS software locks down the resources so nothing bleeds over. Think of it as a hard drive partition. Then we install NT, Win2K, Win2K3, whatever and assgin an IP address to it. Kinda neat and cheaper than getting an actual dedicated server because the customer does not have to buy a lisence for the OS.
Unix is still something we are playing with. We have brought some Unix gurus on board a while ago and are getting them familer with CF. I do know that trying Unix on the VPS is on the list of things to try.
