Why is Hardware Assisted Virtualisation now mandatory?

Hey there,

I'm just wondering why Hardware Assisted Virtualisation is now mandatory? I
mean tbh, whether it was enabled or disabled in Virtual PC 2007 I didn't
notice any difference in performance.

Also isn't it a little ironic, a virtualisation technology that's meant to
cut down the cost of requiring the physical hardware, when actually allot of
us are going to have to upgrade just so we can make use of the latest
releases. Wouldn't it have been good if it was an option just like it's
always been? I've got 2 computers that can't run Virtual PC Beta and one of
them is brand spanking new! lol!

Nick.
