Not sure about that. I would think they would want you to be able to host those other OS's on a Windows box. I have heard that this is Microsoft's answer to migrating NT machines. You basically point at an NT server and suck up the OS and programs on that server and they run on your new server in a virtual space. The other thing is that with VMWare if you had a problem you had to try to replicate it on the metal - Microsoft would no support virtual OS installations. They will support same on their own products.
