We run several VFP9/SP2 apps (and some old FPDOS) on virtual servers of Win2008R2 (a Hyper Server (32G ram) running 3 virtuals (8GB each), 1 for the office file/print server, 1 as a web server (accessing the Fox data), and 1 as a remote desktop server, all 3 were Win2008R2) with no problems for over 2 years now. Before that the apps ran on 2003 Servers and I only recall a single .DBF of about 5000 rows being corrupted between the years of 2008 and 2013. All the workstations (about 20) were XP Pro when on the 2003 server, then they were all upgraded to Win7 Pro about 3 years before the move to the 2008 servers.
