It works *really* well on the Intel Macs.
To be honest as much as I love and rely on VMware I don't think this was an ideal application for it anyway.
VMware isn't actually that good at running many instances on a single host ( you are pushing your luck at more than 2-3 VM instances per CPU core, any more and the IO starts to really drag in my experience ) The ESX version is a lot better in this respect.
The basic VMware Server I believe also has a limitation whereby there is nothing stopping a careless or malicious user on one of the VM's from causing havoc for the others by doing something silly like forkbombing their machine.
I believe even the GSX version does this as well - to limit stuff like that you'd have to fork out for the ESX edition.
