So what I hear you say is:
Hook the UPS to the physical machine
Have the host OS monitor the UPS's state
When the UPS signals the host it sends a SIGHUP to the Virtual Machines
The VMs should then interpret the SIGHUP as a Shutdown command

Is that what you had in mnd?

Does anyone know if that's how it works?

Obviously, I don't care about M$ products!

I don't see this as a huge issue with zen, uml, or virtualbox.  Don't 
know or really care about Vmware either.

The virtual machine is simply a process to the host.  Either it takes a 
signal to shutdown cleanly or it doesn't.  Hopefully the former.  If not 
it isn't worthy of any production related work.
