Have you seen Virtual Server? It's pretty neat. I use it to test out server configurations before really implementing them:

Imagine it's like VMware or Virtual PC, but it's all web-based, using VNC to do all the display work. It works flawlessly with NT, 2000, 2003, and even XP installs I've done. If it could run Linux, and more important to me, the *BSDs, that would be really neat.
