Been using hypervisor clients for a while now, successfully used a virtual NT server to do a swing upgrade to Server 2003 and Active Directory late 2006 using virtual PC.
Despite its uses, VPC 2007 seems to hate Linux distributions, but for an alternative I have been using this http://www.virtualbox.org/
Outfit recently aquired by SUN but the app is still availiable open source for personal use.
Successfully run on Server 2k8 and vista ultimate x64, with Ubuntu and Kubuntu Hardy, and Open Solaris. Also Run it on Gutsy and Hardy with Legacy MS os's. Highly recommended.
A bit funny under MS with its networking, so for serious use needs two NICS in the machine but definatly a great app, particulaly with its cross platform support. Copy over the virtual hard drive file and off you go.
