I know Wordpress.com is running some variant of MU, but I don't believe LFE automates it. I say that because it was in my target list last week, but for whatever reason, it wouldn't complete registration. Which is fine, because I would rather stay below that radar, but if you have a problem with it and want to use it, you can always ask the LFE guys to sort it out so it does. They are really good about that.
I have LFE on my VPS. You can probably run it on shared hosting. I know of at least one guy was running it on Hostgator because he had an issue with ports being closed by the host. You can run it locally, I don't know if they recommend XAMP or WAMP for Windows (I prefer WAMP personally). You can also run it on Mac with MAMP. The LFE guys will install it for you on a remote server, or walk you through a local install. I'm happy to help my guys with stuff like that too through AIM.
