An article in the November 6 eWeek says, in part:

"HyperPAV is an extension of PAV-PAV support is available for users running 
[VMware's VMware virtualization software] or Linux on a mainframe," McAdam said.

Now, you and I don't believe he really said that, especially with the square 
brackets around it; ah, the *online* version actually says "...running VM or 
Linux..." (see http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2047135,00.asp).  So 
somebody somewhere has a clue!

I was worried -- after all those years of having to say (through clenched 
teeth), "Mainframe does NOT mean MVS" (and, more recently, "z/OS is not a 
slurring of "The OS"), I was afraid that we were going to have to start adding 
"And VM does NOT mean VMware".  Though I suspect that it may be too late for 
either of those...
