Ok, so in engine we will still have the VmType in vmStatic?

I think it would make sense to use it in scheduling / load balancing
- if a VM is a desktop and no user is connected to the console, then the VM is not in use, therefore it is a good candidate for saving power (hibernate, migrate, shutdown, or any other bad things that can happen to a VM)
- if a VM is a server, usually no user connected, but it may still be used through its network. Therefore it may not be a good candidate to migrate.
