It is aimed at debugging embedded systems, not at server virtualization. Performance and ease of management are not so imporant in this case, configurability and ease of writing virtual devices is.

I think there's a disconnect in the headline, and what the software does. I can definitely see how that would be very useful to the right people, I don't see how it could be the 'cool new thing in VMs'
Agreed. It's very cool to a limited amount of people that build/debug/reverse engineer hardware and device drivers.

On the other hand we're on a hacker forum, so this might be a surprisingly large share.

Fair enough - I can't really argue without trivialising things somewhat so I'll just leave it that :)
