No.  VMWare ESX is a limited-capabilities OS, and the only  
"applications" you can run on it are OSes that it virtualizes.  See

	http://www.vmware.com/products/esx/faqs.html

question 8:

	"8. What are the Key Features in VMware ESX Server 2?
	    o The unique ESX Server bare-metal architecture puts a compact  
and highly secure virtualization layer microkernel directly on the  
hardware for optimum performance levels, reliability and high  
scalability.

	    o Virtual machine I/O passes directly through to host devices  
for performance exceeding hosted virtualization technologies that  
insert an intervening Windows or Linux host operating system."
