Yeah, Steve is definitely going about this the right way.
I have 4 VMs of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 running on one Windows XP SP2 64-bit box at work.
The host has 4GB of RAM (which it gets to use all of thanks to 64-bit addressing) and each "guest" OS gets 512MB of RAM. There are two Windows Domain Controllers, an Exchange 2007 box and a Sharepoint Services 3.0 box. All run nice and quick (especially for VMs) and there's zero maintenance on 4 out of 5 total "machines".
