Star OS and Virtualization or Virtualization and OS?

Red Hat We each behave according to our nature. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that while a virtualization supplier believes that the operating system is, effectively, a feature, an operating system vendor would argue that the converse is true. The philosophical differences between Red Hat and VMware could not have been more apparent during their respective events - September’s VMworld gathering in Las Vegas and yesterday’s Red Hat analyst day held at the New York Stock Exchange.

Why do we need to run all these SEPARATE OS's?


It is my understanding that the separation that a process has from another process inside an OS is trivial vs. a wall between another process and a Hypervisor + OS. Thus you get some additional security.
