A virtual server is really just a server, it's the same method of installation etc

You can deploy virtual machines in a lot of different ways, using VMWare VSphere, VMWare Workstation, Microsoft HyperV and there are more.
If using VSphere or HyperV you get a real server although it is virtual it acts as a physical server.
With Workstation solutions you still depend on the hosting OS in respect to firewall settings, IP connections and things like that.
So you need to know how to setup Virtual Machines and if setup properly you can run any server application on a virtuel machine.
I usually setup a Windows 2008 Server with one ore more VMWare workstation virtual machines.
On the WIN2008 host server we run VoiceMail Pro and Xima software, and on the Virtual machine we run the Avaya Linux One-X Portal server.
The Linux One-X perform a lot better as the Windows variant,VM Pro on Windows has more features and is easier to debug.
I also have one NIC for Windows and one NIC for the Linux virtual Machine.
I have also done VSphere and HyperV, this is way better as the above but a lot more expensive.

I always use VMware ESX(i) and run the Linux apps on it.
But like Intrigrant says the VMPro on Linux is limited while the Windows version is not but.
VMPro and 1XP on the same Linux machine is better integrated when it goes about VM in 1XP.
VMPro on a Windows machine needs more configuration to get this working well.
BAZINGA!
I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

I have our VM Pro in ESX and its perfect.
Ive also installed the Apps server in ESX and again, its perfect.

Putting an iso on VMware esx(i) is just a matter of copying it to a folder on the server.
Then add a new virtual machine and assign the iso to it and boot from it.
It is just like you put a DVD in to the server.
BAZINGA!

We are running CallSWEET on one VM, and VM Pro with Contact Store on another VM.
I use Hyper-V which is built in for free with Windows Server 2008R2 and Server 2012 and runs like a champ.
If you have a copy of Windows server standard, you are entitled to run a VM with the same key for free.
Like any virtualisation project, just be wary of the IO you are putting the underlying disks under. Probably wise to have a number of 15k RAID10 or RAID5 arrays and putting VMs that write the most (VM Pro, ContactStore) on separate drives.

It depends on what you are going to run.
Only VMPro then you could go for 2Gb (1Gb will work too)
One-X Portal is a memory eater so the more the better.
6Gb is recommended but at least 2Gb is needed.
If you go over a hundred users then i suggest more then 6Gb.
