It is kind of "cute" to talk with folks that are specilized in virtualization...it makes me remember the times when a new OS had to be more secure....sure it is more complex but for that reason it must be more secure....hmmmm...I think at least with OSes we have learnt that a new release does not always mean more security. With Vmware for years everyone believed that it made the world more secure...lately Vmware is cranking out more and more patches. This time to prevent address information disclosure, privilege escalation and other security issues....whatever that means. Reality is that we take physical controls and emulate them in the Vmware system....what comes next?
