I run a lot of mission critical apps on virtualisation too.  While
probably not the same level of virtualisation they do, I certainly run a
lot of our company software on virtualised operating systems and I
agree, we not only take snapshots but we can restore those snapshots and
migrate our systems while they're live.

I guess Virtualistaion might be the new x64, you remember when everybody
