Hi Ben, This was alluded to but to be clear, Evergreen isn't Windows software. Evergreen was built to run on Linux and is commonly run on Debian though I know it's used successfully on other distributions as well. Honestly, as much as I love to spread the love of Evergreen from what I can infer from your post I don't think this would be the right direction for you.
Running a production system on a VM is dubious though possible but then connecting clients, doing the configuration, etc... these are going to require a big investment of time and energy on the part of staff.
