Wasn't TdR statement before hardware virtualization on x86 became commonplace? Before AMD-V / Intel VT x86 virtualization worked through bizarrely complex techniques (binary translation...)
He said that in ~2007? So that may be correct. x86 hardware virtualization has gone through several generations so his comments may have remained accurate even as hardware features were added.
Hardware-assisted virtualization really took off in ~2008, but they've continued to add features over the past decade.
