Well the main reason I use this is I work for a consulting company and when we take over a company the structure is really bad and we have to go through and clean iti up. Now what i use my virtualization for is testing purposes. I do a lot of testing with GPO's and GPP and I like to see how they are going to effect things so I join a virtual machine to the network and do all my testing through that, that way i do not have to leave my machine in order to test my policies.
We also use virtualized servers as well seeing that we can hold mulitple server's on on physical server and if we need to bring up a new server it takes a matter of 45 minutes to do it. If the server goes down we can roll back to the snap shot that is taken of the machine and restore from backup. It is one of the best things that i think is out there.
I use it as well and i do not believe that you can actually boot a physical drive with it
