And this increases the security for the hosted (DomU) OS's exactly how? You know, the BIOS is safe from attack too, at least as much as Dom0 is, and each machine on my network is, amazingly enough, also totally isolated from each other. > Nobpdy has to write any code to understand that - the secuity benefits > are ovbious to everyone from the PHBs to the admins. Actually they aren't. What are the "obvious" security benefits? I'm not saying there aren't benefits, just that I can't see any obvious security benefits. --- Lars Hansson
