Hi, MVM still has its seat in some cases, I think. The one of features is the ''Isolation" characteristic(Isolation API,JSR121). If we use make JVM as a base of OS(that is, Java os), MVM is the nature choose. One thing is, the "Isolation" is much lightweight than process, as far as I know. Hence, althogh some cache and sharing techniques have decreased the requirement of mvm, mvm is still more beatuiful. Another thing to my interesting, the potential relationship between OSGI and Isolation. I have not more time to investigate this question.
