Off-topic sections[edit]
The sections beneath 2008 labeled "Overview" through "Further Development" really don't belong in a time line. Does anyone mind if I just remove them? JeffV (talk) 21:16, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Merge of material from Virtual[edit]
Please see the discussion at Virtual regarding merging some of that article's material into here. UncleDouggie (talk) 03:52, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Complete shipwreck[edit]
That's what this article is! Pcap ping 20:10, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Honorable mention?[edit]
Surely Executor [[1]] deserves mention in this since it predates Virtual PC by almost 10 years. It wasn't strictly virtualization per se, but either was Virtual PC when it came out.
Apple Macs[edit]
And couldn't you run (albeit badly) a Windows 3.1 system on an Classic Apple Mac? I known they did a PC on a separate board for the PowerPC hardware, but I am pretty sure that is because the earlier methods were so slow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc350 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
How to clean up this article[edit]
This article was tagged for copy editing, but it was not ready for it. I believe that all of the content in and below the "Overview" section should be removed from this article after verifying that equivalent content exists in Virtualization or in one of the many articles linked in the "Other types" section of Virtualization. The Overview section is {{Off-topic}}. Once that checking and removal is done, the article will probably be easier to copy edit. This could be a useful, focused article with some attention. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Ugh yes I agree, that cleanup as you outlined would be welcome. It would be useful to have a clean timeline article on all things VM/Container. Psm (talk) 19:03, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
Intro[edit]
This article needs an intro to give it some context. RJFJR (talk) 19:54, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
