The main reason why VMWare, etc, are unsuitable, especially when GoogleEarth and things like it are involved, is performance. Google earth eats graphics cards for lunch. VMWare and most other vm hosting and emulated/dynamic recompilation systems don't provide accelerated graphics to the level required by 3d applications.
