serious virtualization without HW support?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday crashcourse ca>]

  i'm reading the section on CPU virtualization extensions here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Quick_Start

and it occurs to me to ask whether anyone would want to get
*seriously* into virtualization without having machines with those
extensions.

  is it safe to say that, by now, most modern systems come with VT or
AMD-V support?  and by "serious" virtualization, i don't mean someone
downloading and goofing around with it, i mean people who want to set
up virtual corporate servers or mission-critical stuff.

  thoughts?
