Why would anyone want to take a cherry pie and spread crap on top?

No offense intended.

Subject: Re: Value added by z/VM versus VMWARE

If z/VM supported virtual x86 systems, that support would make the
platforms
extremely competitive and, potentially, cause a sea change in the source
of
computing resource for x86.

Considering the average CPU utilization for x86 desktop systems (less
than
15% by some estimates), such support could make for a good match; guest
systems that do practically nothing and a virtualization system with a
remarkable ability to allocate resources among a large number of guests.
