you nailed my second iteration right there. when i realized that the consumer market is just filled with services, i figured, the hell with it, i'll create an enterprise only product, full with virtual hosting environments and everything - never made enough progress to push it out yet, but it's at 80% done or so and does 100% what you said right there... appreciated!
Following this train of thought, it might be worth exploring if this would work best as an SAP or Jive add-on or some such. . . Getting a sales channel would be helpful in the Enterprise world.
