That has been my experience too, both in the office and in dealing
with large and small customers.
I really don't care if it says "non-virtualised" instead though.
I know I'm coming late to this discussion, but I have a different comment on that. Which is, why is it there in the first plcae.
In what way are the installers more designed for non-virtualized than DEB/RPM are? For virualized? For cloud, private, public, or hybrid?
I suggest that either that part is just dropped completely, or that it's moved to a central point covering all the different options that are on the page.
