IMO VM is just another way of saying "computer." A VM is as secure as you make it, just like your Windoze & *nix boxes.

Two totally different things. DMZ's do not function like VM's

No. You just virtualise the DMZ, or rather security zones, since it's typical to have more than just an inside, outside and DMZ these days.

I actually ran this infrastructure at a small company. We set up a separate virtual network for external development, with a separate NIC (could be a shared NIC with different VLAN) and access to internet. The external developers could then access this environment without access to the rest of our system - some of which was on the same VM host.

The use of dedicated metal for DMZ decreases. DMZ itself doesn't.
