This seems a lot like the early IBM VM operating system, which completely virtualises the hardware. I thought this was really clever when I first heard of it many years ago. I have often wondered what the requirements on the instruction set for a CPU are to make this possible. My organization is a 98% Microsoft shop, and I have gotten myself a reputation as the "open source nut". VMWare should make a great tool for consolidating our all-too-numerous Windows servers. Thanks for the useful comments, to everyone who replied.
