Indeed. The amount of documentation (books? nah..) on VM is so sparse that it would be good to have both systems properly documented. That would fill a void in CS theory and documentation that was painfully there while I was trying to find useful information to help with the design of the new Linux VM... ... and you know, once written, it would make a *wonderful* paper to present at Freenix or for ALS....
