What is the big deal with Virtualization?
giardini: Virtualization is sometimes considered important because it may provide OS features that certain operating systems have failed to provide in the past, e.g., separation of code/data areas, efficient utilization of resources, security, etc.And you _can_ run multiple OSs on one physical machine.See http://www.virtual-strategy.com/Features/Why-Virtualization-...and use Google for more.Honestly I would be happy to find an OS/hardware combination that did everything they _should_ do (short of an IBM mainframe). As it is, virtualization is a meta-OS layer that is just waiting to be hacked/cracked.
