I think the most immediate benefit is the hardware abstraction. You can install a program you absolutely depend on in a virtual machine, and then re-deploy it on a completely different computer with different hardware in *minutes* by simply copying your virtual image. Have been doing this for the past 4 years in my surgery, and saved my bacon a couple of times already.
