you can run linux guests on linux hosts and windows guest on windows hosts.
But you cannot mix them.
It's not really virtualisation that does the magic here, it is more like a big
chroot. You have to realize, that if you are using the linux virtuozzo
version you are using the same kernel kernel on host and guests (not multiple
instances, just one instance shared for all virtual servers) and you can only
choose the distro for each guest.
Virtouzzo for windows just works on windows 2003 server, so all guests will
also be windows 2003. There is no support for xp or anything else, and mixing
two diffrent windows versions on one virtuozzo host would even be in therory
impossible.
There is also an small open source version available for the linux virtuozzo
version (not for the windows version!). it was called open virtuozzo, but if
I rember it right they changed the name not long ago. I think the project is
just existing, because virtuozzo on linux is using other open source
software, so they had to release it for free. the commercial virtuozzo
versions just brings extra goodies like remote managment via webinterface and
so on to open virtuozzo.
But I wouldn't use virtuozzo for linux myself, because it's more or less the
same as VServers and the open virtuozzo project has never been very popular.
VServers should be better supported and you will find a lot more support if
you have trouble.
Paying for the commercial version doesn't make sense if you have
x-virtualisations techniques for linux that are for free and at least as good
as virtuozzo (the most even better).
Virtuozzo for Windows is more interessting, because it brings a kind of
vserver/chroot thing to the windows world. so you can run x-virtual servers
with almost no overhead. But real (and secure) virtualisation is not
possible, then better use vmware, xen+vt, qemu, whatever if this is a very
important aspect for you.
