I worked for the biggest car manufacturer in the world and they used clustered VM's for their production environment.

Are you saying that VMware also runs one VM inside another, and if so how common is this?

MS Virtual Server is much better the Virtual PC but still nowhere near VMWare's offering.

It is now FREE. That's right free.
It's also been crippled by MS from what it once was. Originally it was a Mac product and MS bought it, removed the ability for it to run on a Mac host along with a whole bunch of other features that were Mac specific, then released their bastardised version on to the world.
Basically MS saw the VM world running away without them so they bought the only product that would sell to them and then made it worse in typical MS fashion.

Now that VM-Player is free (you can only 'play' VMs not create them) there is a growing community around VM Appliances . So images of OS's tuned to a specific purpose, so you can have one for a particular mailserver, or security appliance etc.
