</div>No, Microsoft recently started supporting it. Back in August, I<br>
believe, because we were right in the planning stages of an Exchange<br>
2007 deployment for a customer when Microsoft's policy changed. We<br>
virtualized it once we saw it was officially supported and verified it<br>
with our Microsoft rep. VMware is a supported virtualization<br>
environment, too, so you're not limited to Hyper-V.<br>
