Kim,
The information published on the website is correct. Thanks for pointing
out this.
I corrected my comments as following:
Installing a SMS 2003 SP1 site server or a site system on a guest operating
system, say Window 2003 server, may work, but is not supported. SMS 2003
advanced client on guest operating that runs on a virtual PC or a virtual
server is supported.
Thanks,
Michael [MSFT]
