Do you have/need GPUs on your 'mission critical systems'? I would bet most of us don't. I quite agree with OP here. VMs are now quite lightweight (compared to available resources on machines at least) and I would rather use a light, hardened Linux as my base OS that will run windows VM and do snapshots for quick rollbacks. Actually, that's what I run on my own PC, and I think it would be the sanest way to operate.
