I haven't looked into things yet, but I know there are linux (and other) variants out there, and I really would like a 24/7 server to put some small stuff up on. But I don't want a linux box on 24/7 at home and I simply can't justify an XServe.
I don't care about "opening" up OS X for non-Apple hardware. I don't even think they should do it. But running virtual OS X servers should be a high priority for Apple. I would even venture to say that I would be OK with an OS X specific solution. I.e. you can only run the virtual stuff on an OS X machine. I don't particularly care how they solve it (you don't have to have virtual computers running after all), just do
