I use the VM for some very old apps written in 98 but run in XP for specail equipment the writers of the software are no where to be found today so porting them to Vista or 7 is on the impossible side. I also have a Win2k Server in VM due to work and testing settings before I change the real one. We are now looking at moving to Server 2008 but with everyone tighting the money belt that might not happen so Im looking at ways to run the old Servers as long as I can.
Plus I the added reason is I can and makes it very nice in meetings to show people what the server or app looks like on a laptop running server and the app by its self letting the customer toy around with it not having to worry about the real database cause I can wipe the demo copy and reset a new one from the orginail. Full network right in your hands on a laptop makes life easier.
