It's really been more like 20. But take heart: More likely than trying to quash VM, they simply didn't want to drag the great misunderstanding-of-the-masses w/r/t VM into the press release. Lay people don't know what virtual memory really is, much less what a virtual machine might be. Even the brilliant minds that invented Java (I say withOUT sarcasm; I am being serious) allowed the term JVM (Java Virtual Machine) where it is really a misnomer: the JVM is an interpreter. z/VM and VMware are true virtualizations. So I think it is more that people just don't understand.
