See page 4 on the spec sheet: http://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000531-en.pdf No idea what's involved with packaging the VM and getting it there, but should open up some interesting possibilties.
What are those possibilities? How can you leverage VM in your router/switch? Do you have access to the high performance NPU? Or some high-performance link to forwarding-plane? If it's just plain old VM in server, why would you want to save 1kUSD on installing compute to the rack and add complexity/risk to your network infrastructure? JunOS, IOS-XR are very fickle already and fail on the darnest things, I'd be very hesitant to put random VM there without extremely compelling justification. -- ++ytti
