:The main difference is that bytecodes are specifically designed to run on systems independent of the native machine code of the system. You are right that the bytecode could be the native machine code, but that is often done to run such bytecode on a platform optimized to run it. bytecode is NOT the same thing as machinecode.

:: From a computer scientists point of view, there is no difference between a virtual or a real machine and their instruction sets are clearly equally powerful (given that both are Turing complete). My point is not what is being done, but the technical difference between the two terms, being that there is none. Being designed to be run on-top of another, unknown, machine is hardly a good criterion for distinction.

::'''Keep Separate''' — But this article needs to be refined and its category has to be determined. Is it related to virtual machines, interpreters, or process virtual machines?
