Windows Guests on z/VM is the project being worked on by Mantissa Corp -
named "z/VOS":
http://www.mantissa.com
Mantissa described the project at the last SHARE, in Austin TX (although
they didn't have a running demo at that stage).
Apparently Mantissa's project has IBM's approval. I heard some
scuttlebutt that IBM had actually tweaked the z10 silicon to make it
easier for emulation programs to "pass through" virtualised x86
instructions to the underlying processor (I think .... my memory's kinda
hazy).
Definitely interesting, as a curiosity! :-)
