Hmmm, almost. Disco runs on MIPS processors which are self-virtualizing. x86 processors are far from self-virtualizing making the job much harder to do efficiently. I'm not saying that it's any harder than writing a good web browser or OS. I'm just saying it's not that easy to whip up something like VMWare as you say it is here.
