Thank you all! (Okay, that was my Geeksgiving thanks hahaha!)

VirtualBox has 'baked-in' RDP and VNC console access to the VMs, IIRC. It will run on Solaris, Linux, Mac, and Windows - it is not a bare-metal solution. I've run several VMs at home on a nice quad-core box, but not in production - at $work we use Hyper-V.
