Hmm, now that is interesting. I can use that tidbit at work. We are trying to find a way to test various mac browsers through the mac os's without having the extra equipment available. I know how to get this done, but I didn't know osx server was also licensed to be vm'ed. Which is VERY important to the company I work for. Gotta stay legal!
Now to vmware that sucker and use osx server in that would be something cool to try. I wonder how that would perform on my 4 box farm of Compaq Proliant 5000 servers? 4x PPRO 200mhz 1meg cache per chip, and 4gig of Ram per machine.. Probably dog slow, but hey, sounds like a good weekend project!

Sorry, no.

Even virtualized, OS X Server still requires that it is running on Apple hardware. It's just that you can now run multiple virtualized copies of OS X Server on one physical Mac/Xserve. (You also still need one license per installation, so a Mac Pro running five virtual machines would take six licenses; one for the host, five for the five guests.)

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

A. Mac OS X Server Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a single Apple-branded computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-branded computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Applebranded computer, or to enable others to do so.
