Maybe "Energy conservation through virtualization"?  Except that there are 
some down sides to virtualizing everything, such as hardware failures that 
affect all of the guests at once.

While I was gone I had what looked like a disk failure from what I was told 
over the phone, but turned out to be bad RAM that was only coming into play 
when memory use hit a certain level.  I could see problems with that in a 
virtual environment.

Say a tech was troubleshooting a guest that was hitting the bad RAM, shuts it 
down and restarts it.  After guest A was shut down, guest B might get 
re-mapped into the bad RAM and problems would migrate from one guest to 
another.  That same tech might be reluctant to mess around on the host 
machine because she could affect all of the guests.

Anyway.  I should probably conserve some energy right now.
