I view IBM i and PASE as essentially separate and distinct operating
systems (or environments). They both run on Power. They're packed together.
But the runtime interfaces and characteristics are about the same as
running two separate partitions on a single hypervisor.

That's a easy way of looking at it. But it's not really even close to
correct as I understand it.

Nathan is not saying they ARE somehow implemented as two partitions
with a single hypervisor. He is saying they FEEL about the same as two
partitions with a single hypervisor. (And notice the wiggle room for
"about the same".)

To me, the IBM i environment and the PASE environment feel at least as
different as VMS and Unix.
