With all words of computerese, their meaning changes every five minutes (or every 200 blog revisions, where there are 2400 blogs), so just pick a definition of any word, and stick to it -- until some blog or book redefines it with a meaning that you prefer.

"Virtual" is one of the words that's had the most (and the most contradictory) meanings.

With Java, though, the whole "You can run any Java program on any machine on which Java is installed" is about as meaningful as "You can open any MS Word document on any machine on which MS Word is installed".

The biggest difference there is that you can write programs in .NET, within the MS Word about-as-much-of-a-VM-as-Java, so you don't have to get your hands and brain all dirty with Oracle products.
