Virtualization's Maturity

Useful answer?
0

Virtualization on the desktop may be relatively new (5 - 10 years old). But as a whole (PC's + mainframes) it's roughly thirty (30!) years old. The first commercial VM was IBM's VM/370 on their mainframes in the 1970's. So the maturity issue is BULLCRAP !
