> so I'll just say it bluntly: these are all lightweight virtual machines. It's crazy to think that they solve software incompatibility in Linux, they just work around it by making the user allocate and run gobs of binary code, unnecessarily taxing their storage, CPU and RAM. And.. what exactly do you think Windows is doing to achieve this same feat? Isn't "Windows on Windows" _precisely_ what you describe?
