Dude - SoftPC is emulation (i.e., emulating x86 on 680x0 and PPC), not virtualization. MS bought Virtual PC (Connectix) which was also an emulator, though Virtual PC and Virtual Server on Windows actually perform virtualization. Virtualization is relatively new on the Mac but mature on Windows and Linux. IMHO, the Virtual PC family on Windows is inferior to VMWare's offering.
SoftPC was from Insignia, which was not purchased by MS.
Normally, I'd ignore a comment like yours, but in these forums, too many people would probably take your statement as fact.
