I certainly did not mean to imply that virtualized Asterisk simply does 
not work. In fact, I run *MANY* instances in various forms of 
production, development, testing, home use, etc in Vmware ESX, OpenVZ, 
Xen, and Virtualbox environments. My thoughts were simply that 
virtualization and Asterisk can sometimes cause complex issues that 
require some additional attention than a normal bare metal installation.
