Hello Mark -- Yes, that VMWare vSphere Hypervisor sounds promising. Did you work with it and did it worked well as described in the VMWare ads? Also, the 2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation Virtual Machine (SP1) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27417 is a Hyper-V image AFAUI. Is there any (easy and cost effective) ways to convert that Hyper-V image into an WMare image?
