Yes, I agree.  But if we have a terminology we always use with VM situations, 
we can put a terminology list in the chapter equating the new tech's terms 
with those we use.

These things are always going to be a problem.  Especially when terminology is 
often selected by people who are not language experts and don't think about 
the nuances of the terms they select.  we just have to do the best we can to 
make things clear to the reader.
