Microsoft has really demonstrated a strong commitment to virtualization in a variety of ways in the last year. I believe that they are putting forth a very strong effort with Hyper-V which will might be the most compelling feature of Windows Server 2008. In addition to this they have begun to provide preconfigured VMs for development, testing, and evaluation for their server products. Their VHD library has grown to include over 15 products including including SQL Server 2008, SCCM 2007, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Server 2008, and Vista.
SQLBLog.com has a related post on how to overcome some minor issues that sometimes pop up with these VMs, like the mouse disappearing. As virtualization becomes more mainstream, there will be minor problems like these that pop up from time to time. The time savings with being able to very quickly setup a VM to evaluate new software - is worth it.
