I have little experience with Xen, VMware / ESXi or KVM. I do use VirtualBox on production servers running instances of WindozeXP running mssql server for some very specific client/server apps and have found that I can do a complete setup on a headless server remotely with little hassle. Getting the screen resolution and mouse sorted out did require loading the VirtualBox Guest Additions. The networking side was also painless, the only item I struggled with was making the WinXP server visible on the windoze client's network neighborhood - in the end I added the WinXP server IP address to the clients lmhosts file - this actually made a lot of sense - as now those clients that do not need the sql server access do not even see the Linux hosted WinXP.
