I just went through trying to get Windows Server 2012 Essentials (both
"original" and R2) running on a cluster with Nehalem CPUs, and it would
blue-screen during install.  I replicated the problem on my Fedora
desktop with plain KVM set up to emulate a Nehalem CPU.  When I switched
to Westmere or newer, Windows worked.

This appears to be some difference between Essentials and Standard
edition (I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard VMs on my cluster
just fine).  A co-worker searching around on the Internet also found
some VirtualBox users having similar issues with Essentials.

So, with Westmere or newer CPU, I think Essentials should be okay, but
don't try it with Nehalem.
