I should have been a little more specific. My intent for the Virtual Machine is
a offline test/training station just like Russ has mentioned below.
I'm just trying to decide whether to start by loading windows 2003 onto the VM
and try an install (first time experience trying this) or imaging an existing
machine and restoring to the VM. So far attempts at the restore method has
been unsuccessful.
Thanks,
Scott E.

I have seen many vmware virtual machines created that have several versions of
IA and FCS software.
I have not created them myself, but I have several vm images that emulate a
range of IA/FCS versions So it can be done.
The real question is what is your intent?
If you intent is for training/demo .....then the vm machine does not connect to
the network and is self contained with FSIM simulated CP's With that setup you
can configure graphics to live points, download databases, pretty much emulate
IA/FCS operations in a self contained workstation.
In the near future....Invensys as demo'd at the 2012 User group in Boston, will
initially use Hyper-V for vm machine.
Actually several vm machines hosted on one server that will connect to the Mesh
Network and also provide support for thin clients to each of the vm machines.

Scott,
I presume you want to load AW70 software on top of another operating system
that is the base load on a computer. I think that I would highly recommend
that you not do this for three reasons:
1. AW70 software has special links to the two ethernet ports that provide you
redundant connection to the Foxboro network. Obviously, the connection is
critical to maintaining process control in the plant, but you would be in a
non-standard configuration which would be difficult or impossible to support.
2. AW70 software expects to have 100% control over the resources and hardware.
With a base operating system other than the supported MS OS, you cannot
guarantee the 100% control.
3. I suspect that there is no license to support this, but I'm not a lawyer.
