VMware Predicts Death To Operating Systems

Mendel Rosenblum envisions a world run by virtualization appliances
where software makers wouldn't need a bulky or complex OS.

He said in his keynote at LinuxWorld conference:

The hypervisor is the system program that provides the virtual machine
environment.  The term came from the IBM mainframe world.  IBM was the
first to introduce the concept of a virtual machine.  "I give IBM credit
for inventing this, but they also in some sense killed it (by turning
toward operating systems)," Rosenblum said.
