Why not? Admittedly it is not as clean as doing it on *nix, but I
see no reason for not being able to run 10 databases on Win32.

You're right, they are hot. We've not used them here, but I've read
comments
by those that have. They generate a *lot* of heat. Make sure your data

They also share a backplane. Here's a good link detailing some issues.

If you have a subscription to Gartner, you should investigate there.
Try using teoma.com or vivisimo.com rather than Google. Many of the hits from Google are vendors. They of course have nothing but good news about blade servers.
