In other words, it's the runtime, ...... The VES is defined as an abstract machine and should be viewed as such. The details of how a conforming implementation implements the VES (via JIT/execution by software code/interpreted by monkey/hybrid etc.) are not relevent. The CLR conforms, therefore it implements the VES.
