I saw big companies are running all client software for their employees on Virtual Machines (VMs), and the client is just running a thin client computer with a remote desktop. This this is safer, cheaper, easier to manage and easier to deploy than hundreds of standalone workstations. And that thin client computer is cheap and no need to upgrade it - it should be just enough to handle remote desktop connection. I even saw small companies are running vital programs like accounting on VMs hosted on remote colocations - for safety and security. That's why running The Bat! and other client software on VMs is of interest. And VMs like when memory, if unused, is not left as it was, with old data remnants, but cleaned with all zero bytes. That's why I think that my question is relevant. Even if you run The Bat! under a desktop Windows PC - filling memory with zeros may be beneficial. -- Maxim Masiutin Director Ritlabs, SRL ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 7.4.16.21 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
