  That upcoming Cell processor is supposed to have virtualization capabilities
as well.  Because there's nothing I'd like more than about 1,000 virtual
machines.  From what I understand, it's just a 64bit ppc core, and the
programming for spe's would be the tricky part.

 Has any development outside of the x86 architecture been done?  I realize the
case may be easier when much of the virtualization is moved into hardware.  (by
looks of some of the Venderpool discussion.)  The documentation hints towards a
PPC port sometime in the future.
