We are using vmware virtual machines for testing our clinical software upgrades, as well as running our practice wiki. Currently we are still running on 'bare metal', but virtualisation is definitely along our upgrade path for our server environment. Running windows on linux is definitely a safer way of doing business, as is the improved disaster recovery and hardware abstraction.
