Dan,
Reading a little closer, this virtualization is really just for private users since you can't use virtualized copies or instances is you're a service bureau or any other similar installation that provides services to others. I see this as including most of the uses people have been talking about. It does appear to say we don't have to purchase additional licensed copies but can use copies of the same version up to the limits defined elsewhere (five? or ten?).
I'd love for Apple to prove me wrong on this interpretation for those people who want to do this.
