Debian for "VMWare Windows"

Hi,

I plan to set up a Windows terminal server. In order
to easily backup the entire Windows system, I plan to install
Debian Sarge as base system, then VMWare and in VMWare
the Windows OS.

Will I get a descreased speed performance in the VMWare
Windows or will the Microsoft OS run approximately with
the same performance as when installed directly without
Linux.

May I run in other problems (or restrictions) with my
Windows system when run in VMWare?

Thank you.

Chris
