True. Add that many "inventions" in virtualization field were in VM/370 in... the 70's. Including running itself on itself which has been celebrated in several news articles for different prototypes over the past few years. Except that was a production system. ;)

Add that IBM tried to kill VM multiple times, and wanted everyone using System/360 to standardize around OS/360.

"The Mythical Man-Month" is the story of OS/360. Hence VM still exists.
