Squilliam said: Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be able to manage itself based on perceived activity, and utility computing, in which computer processing power is seen as a utility that clients can pay for only as needed. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and work loads.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualisation Yep. I was going to mention this earlier but I got sidetracked. |
I am familiar with Virtualisation but steam isn't a virtualised console (even tho the server side most defiantly utilises Virtualisation) the steam client runs on your computer and acts as DRM while offering community features, and the games run as normal on your computer that is not virtualisation and the server side doesn't run the games so that doesn't make steam a console.
