Virtualisation is sold as a security feature on servers and PC's but there are papers to show that all it actually does is increase complexity as well as the attack surface (timing attacks etc..) whilst reducing the reliability and usefullness of the underlying system. Virtualisations purpose is to allow many kernels on one set of hardware to make better use of idle time and save money and NOT security. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
