Can't see much advantage to it. Plex86 would need a complete set of
device drivers rather than just using those of the host OS. Also
all OSen would run at emulated/virtualised speed. Under the current
setup the host OS runs at native speed. What practical advantage is
there to a bare-metal virtualiser over a hosted one?
