Looks like you're talking about the equivalent of ESX rather than workstation. I'm not sure why a hypervisor approach would be better.
Hypervisors are better when you're trying to get multiple OS instances running without having the base OS hogging more resources that it absolutely must.
I don't see the point of a hypervisor on my phone .... yet. There's bound to be a day when my phone has enough processing power and enough battery life and infinite bandwidth to run multiple OS instances on it...
But for the moment, I'd like it if even one runs well.

About the tags, just ignore them. It's just some suicidal attention seeking idiot who doesn't have the guts to shoot himself.
About abill_uk: Shhh. Hopefully he wont come to this thread and ruin it.
lol same here, far to early!

Yeah bascially I was talking about ESXi, with a UI, as running a workstation type "app" wouldn't work because Maemo would be using to much of the HW resources.

Well I see what you mean about the HW issue, it does seem as if others agree that the HW (for the moment) doesn't seem upto it, however long term would it not be better to look at this as a solution (for arguement are on above posts) However, I don't think we are giving the HW enough credit, that youtube vid I saw of VMware was on the N900 and it looked quick (well the HV and console) not sure what would happen if you added any real load to either OS. It was probably just proof of concept....

Well the tag just pi**ed me off, should have maybe moaned about that in a seperate post, that wasn't aimed at anyone, its just annoying that the person would rather tag, than comment, if its such a stupid idea, come on here and tell me why....
