Sweet! You have any docs on that? Can you also define "recover properly"? I can interpret that a couple of ways...
I have a client who has SBS 2K3 and they are looking to replace hardware next month, I was thinking a new server with 2008 host OS running their SBS existing 2K3 server virtualized and then possibly having them buy SBS 2008, VM-ing it, and migrating off SBS 2K3. Would also love to VM our DC's here too, but I need docs showing MS will support FSMO on VM'd servers first.

I remember seeing an MS article to not have DC's with FSMO roles on a VM's machine, has that changed?

I have a SBS 2008 running fine in a VM with 4gb of RAM. Although the SBS community are stating 8gb should be the minimum. It will not even install unless there is 60gb of hard disk space available. I am also running E2007 at home in much less than 8gb of RAM, although things get a little slow if you are using UM. Both RAM and disk space are cheap. I had to replace two disks in a SAT array last week. UK£45 each for two 500gb drives. Put it in to the free Hyper-V Server then when you can get a better machine or a dedicated system just move it around. It is something I am seriously considering doing when I start my SBS 2008 deployments.
