Moving up the stack to PaaS and SaaS the use of virtualisation may, as you say, be less required if you put lots of smarts into your software. A lot of software does not have those smarts and by utalising virtualisation of the layers below can manipulate existing software architectures to have more cloudy attributes through automation (eg run load balancers and deploy more servers automagically).

Active BPEL, LLC announced the latest milestone release of its open-source BPEL engine, which includes several feature enhancements, as well as updates on its planned WS-* support. The ActiveBPEL engine is an Open Source implementation of a BPEL engine, written in Java.
ActiveBPEL was released into open source in July 2004 by Active Endpoints, Inc. In late October, Active Endpoints released metrics for ActiveBPEL, stating that the engine had achieved more than 20,000 "quality" downloads (attributed directly to an operating organization or a recognized ISP), and had more than 400 registered community participants. Most of the downloads and implementations have been in the technology, government, and telecommunications sectors, the vendor reported.
Milestone 2 adds direct invocation of another BPEL process running on the same engine; ability to set variables; enhanced process query capabilities; XML database support Software AG's Tamino product, and Tomcat 5.5 and Java 1.5 support. The product also includes support for WS-* specifications, including WS-Addressing and WS-Policy. However, a release from the organization states that support for WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging, originally planned for version 2.0, have been deferred until a future release. ActiveBPEL recommends that developers interested in adding these specifications “use custom invocation handlers or use external Web services that implement those specifications as interfaces."
ActiveBPEL also stated that an upcoming version 3.0 would be announced in the first quarter of this year, and will be based on the upcoming WSBPEL 2.0 specification, while continuing to support processes that were developed using the BPEL4WS 1.1 specification
