Wasn't that precisely supposed to be the operating system's job? One, virtualising (Processes in Unix are little virtual machines), and two, hardware resources management (file systems, time sharing, ...).

Distributed operating systems tried to do that for multiple computers, but instead we get ad-hoc crap on top of single machine OS'es. Progress!
