| | Isolation from Host software How isolated are the two products, host & Guest OS's? If I get a virus in the guest, do I have to worry about the host? I've got a guest OS and as far as I'm concerned it's disposable. I could wipe it and reload in 20 minutes. I'm thinking, screw it, let it happen! |
