Are you serious?! Maybe you have been at Sun to long and don't know what it is like to run "other" OS's! ;-) But seriously, that is exactly what I am doing now but the big downside is performance. The second is if the host goes down so does the guest (don't try to do a ON build in a VM while you try to play Battlefront II on the guest, I just wanted to see what would happen and it wasn't pretty). Plus we don't have VM tools for Solaris yet so the guest/host interaction isn't exactly seamless yet.
