I wouldn't think that SharePoint in a VM is a real problem, per se - as always, I recommend database servers be in hardware, but that's my personal prejudice.
You should always size a machine to meet the needs of your user community. If you don't know what those needs are, buy big and ramp up from there. J Regards, Michael B.

The main goal is to help eliminate "Outlook as a file transport", but eliminate the 100's of file shares we have. But I also know there is much more to the product. I would appreciate replies from those that have deployed SharePoint or have SharePoint experience on what your deployment experience was and what you would or wouldn't do again. Also, anyone have SharePoint running in a VM? As I type this, I am loading up a test server to experience the install process and do some testing. Thanks for any info.
