For years now we have heard about Linux on the desktop and its need to make a concerted effort to illustrate its value to the end user and whatnot. The point of it all being is that if we expect Linux to become a household name, we must find away to get it into the minds of the typical user, like we have seen with Windows.

indeed. its always bothersome when two different kinds of tech gets the same acronym...
and kernel-based virtal machines seems interesting.
if i understand it correctly, the future may well be that one can even access GPU's and similar without any of the os's being aware that they are sharing the hardware with each other.
meaning one can in theory boot up a game inside its own VM and have it gain native speeds.
