The keyword is "VbeShim".

Note this upstream commit:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/ab069d580111ccc64d6b0c9697b7c5fd6e1507ce

"OvmfPkg/QemuVideoDxe: purge VbeShim
The guest os which depends on vbeshim for video support is -- according
to the comments -- Windows 2008 R2.  Which went EOL in January 2020,
more than four years ago."

Reasonable perspective one: "2008 R2 is EOL and should not be run"

Reasonable perspective two: "2008 R2 is EOL and should be virtualized"

What is your position?
