VM's are becoming very popular. IT departments are buying very powerful servers these days and they don't want to dedicate it to one task that takes 3% of the CPU... but they do want to sandbox stuff to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

That said... if the OP is looking for a low overhead solution to create a VM that only is for subversion, then I would say something like Debian Linux server will work just as well (with 0 license fees), if not better. Of course, if you don't have any *Nix admins on staff a Win server in a VM should work just fine.
