Even at that, if you have the same Hypervisor it's not all that hard to move it to a new system by moving the virtual disks and creating a new-to-that-Hypervisor VM. Worst case is you have to assign NIC properties and re-activate the OS.
I'm just glad Server 2012 lets you merge deleted snapshots while the VM is running. One less advantage VMWare has (took MS long enough...).

Ohh... good point. I kind of knew that but the ramifications hadn't sunk in.
