Modern Windows is already using two VMs as well, or even more if WSL is being used.

Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor, when enabled, which is required for many security measures in modern Windows, the first Windows instance is a privileged guest, just like with Xen.

Additionally anyone using WSL 2.0, is running another set of VMs alongside Windows, depending on how many flavours of Linux and containers are configured.
