Okay - I'm bored, so I think I'm going to have a crack at Hyper V.

Right now, we're running A/C on Windows SBS 2011 Essentials. I don't want to mess with this server.

JamesNT mentioned that Windows Server 2012 Standard allows for two virtualization guests. What other OS's can host Hyper V instances? Windows 2011 SBS Standard?

Is Hyper V only good for virtualizing Servers? Or can it be used for hosting Windows 7 Pro instances too?

I've heard Windows 8 can host 64-bit guests. How about I install Windows 8 64-bit in a box with 32GB of RAM, install Hyper V on it, then host a few Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machines?
