Well, Cisco, Juniper and ALU are shipping carrier-grade OS's that will
run on a server in a VM.
Brocade is also known to be doing good work there re: Vyatta, but I
don't know of anyone running that as an RR.
In 2015, I'd never spend money on a dedicated RR running on router
hardware. Server, VM, end of story.
