a multicored elephant is looming in the room

The notion that multicore-processor servers are a boon for virtualisation is absolutely true (I'm viewing the virtual machine list on our brand new 8-core VMWare ESX Server on the other screen right now ;), however I don't get why 8 cores should be some kind of limit here. On the contrary I'm leaning to a "one machine per application"-policy at the moment. Why bother with incompatible software packages or applications stealing each other resources, when I can just install another clean OS and manage the resources on machine level. Even simple applications can use 2 cores each, so I'll happily take a 32 core server, thank you very much!
