Maybe. But this is a very grave limitation, and I would really hate to
have it. It makes the guest OS inferior, avoids direct access to the
hardware for the most part. I wouldn't buy such a hardware.

Oh, and given MS's past history with licensing, I would expect funny
games in the future if this were to be the norm (e.g. machines with the
vmx bit enabled would start to cost more).
