Ah, yes, marketing folks have a tendency to turn really good ideas and concepts into phrases and terms that you wish you could never hear again.  But, that's just part of the industry in which we work - or perhaps the world in which we live?  Virtualization is one such thing - very, very cool technology, but now everyone wants to describe their product as "virtual" in some sense or another.  The next wave is "cloud computing" - used to be just Amazon, now you can run your own "Private Cloud" or you can attach to any number of public clouds.  And what is it really?  Virtualization.
