In case anybody else wondered VMM = Virtual Machine Monitor.

I read it as Virtual Memory Manager and wondered how the heck they pulled one off that works for both Windows and Linux.

It never even occurred to me that they could be talking about something other than the virtual memory manager. I was hyped to see if there was some new architecture being applied for cross-OS compatibility, novel memory objects, techniques to reduce fragmentation, stuff like that. Now I’m just sad.
