Virtualization may be obtained via use of virtual systems all using oM, but ignoring that fact and trying to make oM more for virtual use would defeat the end use of oM itself... It has been a while since my last posting to the oM mailing lists and it is unfortunate that Moshe wants to abandon oM like rats from a sinking ship... each to their own... I still see a use for the original ideas behind mosix... oM friendly programming proves this (even in the days of super fast SMP processing).
