I love the guy who says "only server? that deems this useless.". Number one, learn proper grammar and the meaning of the verb "to deem". Number two, of course it's only going to allow Server. That's the only version that you can legally virtualize!

Will it actually be possible to run this one on a mac server (as a daemon perhaps, right on from the logon screen)?
Or can you only virtualize a Leopard Server on any other Windows/Linux Machine?
(Couldn't find any info of a Server Virtualization environment to be run on a host Mac Server.. :S)

You can start up VMs headless with fusion today, so yes. It does require some shell scripting and using launchd to start up the VMs. We use our very stable backend, vmx, to run all the VMs in Fusion. For reference, this is run as a separate, headless process. You cannot virtualize Leopard Server on anything other than Mac hardware. It might be legal for VMware to allow virtualizing Leopard Server inside Windows or Linux on mac hardware running inside BootCamp but we don't know for sure yet as this is up to Apple to allow it.
