Not clear what this concept is other than another name for virtualization. No established reason this term is used vs. the industry standard term Cander0000 04:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC) 
 * This AfD was malformed; I've repaired it but will abstain --Haemo 04:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep A google search shows up quite a number of hits for this term. I feel that it would be better to re-write this article as well. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 04:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Merge to Virtual machine, which is an existing article section about the same concept. Overlay computer seems to be a new term, but the few papers I've looked at on the subject don't seem to be talking about anything substantially different from this existing term.

 * Merge per JulesH. To the extent that there is any substantial difference, we would need a better-written and better-referenced article to have it be worthwhile. --Dhartung | Talk 20:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
