Can I use a VM for MOSS (SharePoint) 2007 production environment?

I am currently working on a fairly simple company intranet based on MOSS 2007 with around 1400 users, a few blogs and wikis, minimal file sharing and no My Sites (at the moment).

We are considering deploying to a VM for the production environment but I have not been able to find much information on doing this. We mostly use VMWare, though I guess it would be possible to use the MS Virtual PC if necessary. If I remember correctly, only Virtual PC is officially supported, right?

  • What experience have you had of such a deployment?
  • Any problems using VMWare?
  • How should the server be dimensioned?

Thanks

Paul
