I actually might do the same thing, just not with OS X, but instead using Linux as a desktop OS and a virtual Windows for specific stuff that Linux doesn't do, can't remember off the top of my head right now. I'd like to build a beefy server and put a few VMs on it for my family and have them use linux PCs as dumb thin clients and use the VMs, so I can roll-back changes and keep it always fresh, and of course benefit from a fast CPU.
