I've been running a windows machine using the free Vmware Server inside my OpenSuse server for months on end with no problem. It boots and shuts down when the server boots and the tasks it has to run are in the startup folder.
The windows VM runs essentially headless but can be accessed via the remote console from anywhere. Absolutely reliable as far as I can tell. Speed-wise its adequate, but I can't be sure its comparable to hardware.
Does VMware need a new kernel?
Here's my problem I have alot of remote servers and I really want to test Xen (I have it installed on one actually) but it requires me to bootup with a diffrent kernel, something I don't want to do without the machine in front of me, incase it crashes.
