 +Both are operating systems that you can login to and run apps and compile stuff on etc. But with VM each user gets a virtual machine (logically an entire mainframe) and as such can just run apps, or run an entire OS, such as MVS or even another copy of VM (inside which you can again run VM, and inside that...!) Whereas MVS is much more fully featured, and even games exist for it.
