I think they pulled the pin because of the work required to support the areas of x86 virtualization OS/2 steps on. (This is NOT an S/390 instruction set. The I/O space is not uniform. Hypervisors get no performance boost from the HW.) Definition of a hypervisor: Runs the guest operating system(s) natively until there is an exception. Think "demand paged virtual memory". THEREFORE, Mac VirtualPC was never a hypervisor. Doesn't mean there was anything wrong with it, just that it was/is an EMULATOR, and sometimes it is important to know the difference. I really would like to see a comprehensive list of known emulators and hypervisors. <plug type=shameless> This too is good FreeVM-L fodder.
