Hmmmm... well, I'm not sure which you are asking:
Q: is it possible to run a Windows guest inside a Linux host?
A: YES!  In fact, this is our preferred method of delivering a Windows 
server.  The free versions of VMWare work fine for this.

Q: is it possible to run a Windows guest inside a Linux VM?
A: YES/NO/I DUNNO!  I've not tried, but it could probably be done.   But 
SHOULD it be done is another question entirely, and my answer would 
likely be NO.

Q: is it possible to run a Windows guest inside a BlueOnyx server?
A: while it may technically be possible (ie: just install VMWare Server 
as you would on a CentOS 5 box) I would not recommend it.

Hopefully one of those 3 addresses what you were looking for?
