FWIW, I've been very surprised recently with how well end users picked up the concept of using a virtual machine. They kind of relate to it like it was a browser or application window where you do other applications.
I thought there would be a lot of grief and problems, so far, one month in and it is smooth as silk (and it has really helped solve a difficult problem). Has kind of taught me not to underestimate the end-user (they can be a lot dumber than you expect, and a lot smarter.)
