There are many benefits to virtualizing. Except for a few laptops, everything in my house is virtualized with either ESXi, VMWare Server, Xen or KVM. Besides the flexibility, I like the ability to access the servers from whichever room I'm in. I can work in my office and when I want, just take the laptop outside or to kitchen and have all my apps still in place.

I wouldn't use remote access as a reason to virtualize (other than during the initial setup or network troubleshooting). There are better ways to get remote access for daily use than a VMware console (freenx, vnc, ssh, remote X for linux, remote desktop, vnc for windows).
