Sure, you're absolutely right, there are many ways virtualization can be
achieved. Yet I believe here at Screencasts we should concentrate on keeping
things simple for our viewers : I don't think they want to see a video
giving an exhautive course on virtualization, I think they want to see a
video helping them on how to achieve virtualization on their system, period.
It's of course our duty to discuss the matter and select what we believe is
the best way (according to a variety of criteria) to obtain OS
virtualzation. In other words, are we making screencasts for
beginners-to-advanced or for advanced-to-expert users?

I do find your idea of making different screencasts (API emulation, Full
system, etc.) really excellent, provided that we have a common introduction
for each one : quickly explaining that virtualization can be obtained in
different ways, such as 'so and so', and that in this screencast we are
going to cover such and such.

Cheers,
Fred
