Eh? every contemporary desktop/server OS has and uses virtual memory. The need for backing store for swapping is much less these days, but it is still used and supported.
Virtual memory is used even when there is no swap device. For example, it is used for shared library and executable loading and to access the video card frame buffer. Without a swap device there is no place to store "dirty" pages.
