One item you need to consider if you are going to use VMware VCB then you
will be forced to use Windows 2003.

SnapImage wouldn't make a difference on the server - just on the client,
unless, of course, you use some bloated file server as your NW server as
well...

Everyone has their opinion, but most importantly, what benefits does your
client see in such a move? As for me, I couldn't imagine running at
NetWorker server on Windows. Linux is free and tech support is
inexpensive. It used to be that some functionality such as SnapImage
wasn't available on Linux, but was in Windows, but I think they are pretty
much on parity now in that area. In my data center, we see far more
technical glitches with Windows than we do with our Linux servers.
