That is not how he uses the terms. He uses them interchangably.

I was trying to say that qemu (sans kqemu) is a bad candidate. Someone else explains the virtualization-vs-emulation thing much better than I could (short answer: VMware, kqemu, and other virtualizers do it in the hardware whie emulators like qemu and bochs do fully it in the software). > If it's a purely academic conference where being useful doesn't enter > into it.
