From Kerry Wilson at IBM: August 2, 1972 was the day IBM officially announced VM as a product. To help recognize the past 50 years of achievements and innovation by VM and the community I have created a few web pages in honor of the occasion:
IBM VM 50th anniversary - https://www.vm.ibm.com/history/50th/index.html VM Timeline - https://www.vm.ibm.com/history/timeline.html VM history and heritage (updated) - https://www.vm.ibm.com/history/index.html Enjoy! Many thanks to Max Campbell at the IBM Archives who supplied many of the videos and documents. Thank you to Melinda Varian and Jim Elliott who both created remarkable historical accounts of VM and are linked on the third bullet above. If anyone wants to learn more those two documents are incredible. I also wanted to acknowledge Bill Bitner, Lauren Maietti and Jacob Gagnon who put up with me talking about this the past few months and providing feedback along the way. We have some more planned, so please check back or subscribe for updates. Thank you!
