VM or VHD aware? Makes a big difference.
If a program on the host can break into a virtual machine and do
low-level disk management then we have a no-isolation situation and a
good point for exploits to use.
I thought that a virtual computer was basically totally isolated from
the host with exception of any networking interface....
