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.
