I think the shorter list would be of items I don't use VM's for :) and
that would be pretty much an empty list!
I guess the only thing I don't use vm's for...is running vm's...seriously.

I think you should have some items on the list that have stigma
attached...like "oh you can never run a db server as a vm". Bull!
