Sure, but that's not virtualization being inherently unsafe; it's the
expectation that MS, true to form, will put out yet another product which
is poorly designed and unsafe. That makes the _product_, not the genre,
risky.
'Course, they could surprise us and produce virtualization tools that
aren't unsafe, insecure, shoddy pieces of crap. I wouldn't bet the farm
on it, though.
