Dont think getting into an argument as to whether its suitable or not suitable on VM is the valid way to go about this.
I'd love to run a test with a spec'd machine in VM and a CMS project recording page load times when in SmartEdit(with x users) and then repeat with the same spec machine not in VM and see if there is a difference. (with the DB sitting in VMware and then in a normal server as well would be ideal) Anyone out there that could do this sort of test? We have all our environment hosted so it would cost $$$$ to try this out but surely someone out there has access to both VM and normal servers Would love to see RedDot give out some performance stats on editors/ pages/project and machine spec as right now its an art more than a science.
