When you have cheap VMs like modern environments do, you don't need memory protection as bad. Just run a dozen of TempleOS instances. Of course there should be some intranet between them.


So instead of using a virtual memory system you use full blown virtual machines with a host system that'll do the virtual memory management for the guests? What exactly do you gain from that?


The ability to choose whether you want memory protection or not.


That doesn't sound very useful to me.


Virtual machines are simpler, faster and safer. It's like choosing 3/3 of having it faster, better or cheaper.
