At VMworld you'll find the smartest people in virtualization, but you wouldn't know it after you ask them the question, "How do you explain virtualization to your mom?" I had a lot of fun with this shoot as you'll see with the video.

Watch these "experts" attempt to deliver a correct "mom digestible" answer.

Mom is like a hypervisor.... and her kids are like VMs ...she prepares some dishes and shares it among her kids, the elder son gets a little more food and so on. Mom was right, It is good to share . Virtualize!!!

If my Mom understood the concept of Maya in Hindu philosophy. She'd totally understand virtualisation. Even if she didn't, I'd give her some of her own medicine saying that "You made me believe that there are monsters under the bed which come out at night, so that I stay in bed all night. I stayed in bed all night scared of monsters while your purpose was to make sure I sleep enough. You created virtual reality for me, and that's virtualisation". Religion for one is another virtualisation

I had explained VM conception to a several completely non-IT people without any problems. Seems like these guys have not even tried.

I'm shocked!! They cannot explain Virtualization to their Mom because even they do not really know what it is!! So shameful, and they're playing the smart guys!!
I'm more shocked because none of them did try to take the question seriously or has been smart enough to understand that the idea behind the question was to present a smart and very clear explanation of Virtualization that every person could understand, also upset because none of them did show at least respect to his mom, all of them are a bunch of pseudo-techy weaky dump people, I only except the one who appeared at 0:27 (at least modest) and especially the man at 1:30 who I salute because he's the only who on
.the contrary tried seriously to give a definition without missing praising his mom and showing love and appreciation to her

.NB: the interviewer at 0:35 ("you can't even explain it to yourself"), he also understood the point

[AwesomeBad]

Seriously? Has no one had to explain this before to an end user?

Try explaining Fusion to a Mac user. You will learn how to explain it real quick.

I'd say it's a very complex program that thinks it's a computer by itself.

(close eyes, put hands together) Mom, if you can hear me in heaven, I love you very much and there is a way to finally clean up my room and remove all the PCs that I have and replace it all with one expensive PC.
