Given that making VMWare or Parallels run on gazillions of idiotic

Overheard at the water cooler:
One PHB: Nobody's buying our product, because it won't run where they
want it to run.
The Other PHB: That's somebody else's problem.
I presume this is a joke and not reality. Although, you never know ...
However, even customers are starting to go this way. They are tired of
having to match configurations, debug hardware, work out driver
interactions, etc.
Virtualization presents a de facto uniform machine image across the
industry. VMWare emulates a single ethernet card, a single graphics
card, a single USB hub, etc.
In addition, VMWare gets far more field testing on different hardware
configurations that your product ever will. VMWare is much more likely
to have the resources to hunt down obscure interactions than you do.
