I have Sharepoint and it's SQL server both in VMWare. Have had it on VMWare for years, no issues. We do have the SQL server on a different VM guest machine (it's used for more than just the Sharepoint DB). Would I do it again, sure, it's been very stable.
Would recommend a good book or hands on class. I went to a hands on 3 day admin class a couple of years after implementing Sharepoint and it was very useful. I would not recommend allowing users the ability to create sites and most users need nothing more than Web-Developer permission level.
