The OS is real. you would need to query the hardward configuration for
evidence on virtualisation. Look for manufacturers of the hardware in device
manager as some of them may well be made by "MS Virtual Hardware" or
something like that.
I think the point of Virtual Server is that the guest OS isnt aware directly
of the hosting.
Only other thought is check for virtual machine additions installation.
