These are very interesting ideas.... I see it as a "Private Cloud"
sooner than later this vm's will communicate among them and this
could lead to a inter-vm communication mechanism.

I agree with Jonas that this architecture *will* consume more memory 
than a *real* machine.

I think your idea could be some kind of "mini-[Private Cloud] in a box" 
that could
be useful for a small company.

Maybe you can complement your ideas with the OpenStack project...
