That would be a big deal if they supported virtualization on other hardware. Is it possible that it's a first step towards a more open (in regards to hardware requirements) OS X in general?

I–personally–like OS X server for a lot of applications. But, the bottom line is important for businesses and private consumers. XServes never fit into that consideration as well as they could have.

Expect an announcement soon that we'll be able to install OS X Server inside ESX or similar virtualized environment. (or so a reliable source tells me…)
