Do you have any more info on that?

Last time I looked you needed a hacked version of the os to get it  
installed. You also need an EFI boot disk to get around various BIOS  
issues. The latest OS X Server CAN be virtualised according to the  
license agreement but is expensive. I am not aware that virtualising  
OS X desktop is a straightforward affair, although I would be happy  
for you to prove me wrong.
