If we ignore containers, we've had the following meetings about VMs, I only looked back as far as 2009.
April 2019 | Gnome Boxes July 2012 | The Virtual Desktop March 2012 | Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager November 2009 | AMD-V: AMD64 virtualization extension October 2009 | Virtualization on the Desktop February 2009 | Virtualization Deep Dive Day A talk on the current status of VMs would be useful. I run a few VMs at home, but I don't run them on my desktop or laptop machines; I have a rackmount server I purchased on eBay with 32 GB of RAM and24 CPU cores, and I run kvm/quemu on it with CentOS 7 as the OS.
