    The idea of "enterprise grade gear" is a pretty academic distinction
at this point and has been for quite awhile. It's an arbitrary line that
keeps on getting moved as tech improves and yesterday's "enterprise" 
grade server becomes today's wrist watch.

    If the VP of Linux somewhere likes VMs for some particular reason,
chances are that people outside of the Fortune 100 are going to like
them for similar reasons.

    There are no "typical home users here". If anyone is in a position to
make informed decisions about what they want to do then it's a bunch of 
Linux users.
