You seem to forget iSeries, which had an hypervisor for some times now on POWER and even runs ... OS/400 :-) pSeries too has an HV though until recently, it wouldn't do virtual IOs or virtual CPUs, but the newly introduced pHyp that comes with POWER5 does have all these features. In fact, newer iSeries use that too. Ben.
