That's a good point, I didn't think about virtualization. Also, I guess it would depend a lot on the specific situation. Are we talking about a small office with 10 email users, 1 web app. and 1 database? In that case, the one server setup may work just fine.
But, if there are numerous Exchange users, several web apps. (or 1 really big one), and multiple databases, then I would still try to split it up some way.
