Then how do you explain the popularity of user-mode linux on x86?

The reason I continue to use Ski is because it's one of the very few
simulators out there that are (a) architecturally extremely accurate,
(b) fast, and (c) very easy to setup & use.  Ski is an asset for ia64
linux, not a weakness.

(And no, just because we have Ski doesn't mean we don't use real
 hardware.  Nothing could be further from the truth.)
