Are security vendors prepared to deal with virtual machines? Probably not

Yesterday, I penned another blog that extolled the virtues of virtual machine VM technologies like VMware's namesake Workstation product. For that specific entry, I talked about what happens when a virtual machine that was created on an AMD-based system is moved over to an Intel-based system. In my...

Earlier today, VMWare -- maker of virtual machine solutions that use software to make single physical computers look like mutliple and distinctly separate computers -- announced that it was moving from experimental support of Sun's x86-based version of Solaris to full fledged support. I haven't found any reported...
