I've been using VMWare for several years and swear by it!
In fact, I run my secondary DNS on a VM machine as well as a backen Exchange server.
I have several Windows OS's running on my main VM machine including Windows 2008 Server and a SQL Katmai and SharePoint 4 server (along with multiple editions of older Windows environments including Windows 98se and 2000 server).
With a beefy enough hardware, there is no limit to what you can do virtually! In fact, I have a VM running Windows 98se which is in turn running a VM of a Mac OS 7.5.5. I haven't fired up the VM of the Mac OS in quite a while, but I have little doubt that it would exhibit any issues.

I have been using and recommending virtual PC for quite a few months. I was
never able to get Slowdown to help me on my XP machine. So when my last
Win98 machine died a friend suggested VPC. It's great. I have NCU installed
and NTK also. All of the development I have been doing, Tally and a couple
of other small projects I've dine in NTK under VPC. And the work I've
started on Ladle (my Newton to PC sync tool) has been under VPC. I am
interested to know if Ron got it working on XP Home. As a professional
developer my company supplies me with the latest Microsoft software. I could
get Vista if I was so bold as to try it. But I'm not ready to try such a
radical move with my development machines. Maybe in the future. Anyway I run
XP Pro and VPC is just fantastic. I have heard from the developer that
recommended VPC to me that it will in actuality run on Win2K but I don't
know for sure.
