You're setting up a lot of straw men. Your point, which I was replying to, was that VM's are a mistake, not that they were/are slow, or how some VM's became dominant, or making guesses toward where Microsoft or Oracle want to head. My response is that 1) VM's are dominant today and 2) for very good reasons. And because of that, they are not a mistake. I also speculate they are going to remain dominant for a while because of all their advantages over native approaches, advantages which become even more prominent as hardware keeps pacing up, like it has always done.
