Unfortunately no mention of V86 even in the intro/history section, which could be considered the origins of x86 virtualisation technology, and achieved widespread use starting with Windows/386 and all the way through the Win9x lineage. If you've ever used those versions of Windows, you've used a hypervisor.

Windows 11 now enables VBS by default; so all modern PCs are running a hypervisor as well.

Anyone who enabled WSL2 was also running Windows under Hyper-V so that Linux could run at the same level. (The same thing virtualization-based security uses.)
