Mac has been running windows in virtual for over 10 years. Yeah, Windows the “innovator” :B
The only need to run "virtual machines" on any OS is to make up for a major flaw in the design of the OS !
In Windows Server's case, it is the Registery. The Registry was "invented" as a repository for application setup "data" that the end user could not easily screw up. But it was invented in the context of Windows being a SINGLE USER computing environment. This does not work when you want to run multiple client/server (database) apps that serve totally different clients.
This problem was solved over 30 years ago, but there was no way around the Registry that would turn Windows into a true multi-user OS.
For that matter, a large percentage of "database" applications could be easily implement with index sequential access (ISAM) files. That technology is probably 50 years old, but "not invented by Microsoft" or anyone in the UN*X/Linux crowd so now it is lost technology. SIGH ! BTDTGTT !!!
