Sorry, I think there is some misunderstanding about virutal techonology.
In a virutal hardware box, the guest OS inside it does not know where it is. It may be a litter or much slower than in a real hardware box, but the memory footprint should never been any difference. That's why many developers use Microsoft Virutal PC or VMWare to test there programs. Think about it - you don't have to boot into another OS or go to another computer that may be 50 meters far just to test a small problem of your progarm!
So I think I I have FC3 installed in a real hardware box, the memory footprint of the JVM will be the same.
And we can all trust Microsoft to ensure that this is how it works. Microsoft lost a very long court case after making Windows not work with Dr Dos. I wouldn't be surprised to find Microsoft doing something similar. Who really knows all the code in Windows.
