OS X may have virtualization but I have yet to see where iOS supports virtualization.

Everyone knows Apple is a walled-garden. Geesh. That does benefit them on many fronts (controlled access) but it is also a detriment.

There is already cross-porting of apps from iOS to Windows 10 and visa versa. Will this disintermediate the OS? Suspect it will, similar to Android apps on Blackberry 10.

Looking forward to Android and iOS apps running in a VM on QNX. Still run BB World productivitiy apps while providing a isolated VM for the toys of the world.

It doesn't and it won't. Why should it? If it did, then it would be as open to the malware as what is being virtualized. That's insane.
