Caps people will recognise this one more quickly...  One
thing I wasn't clear on is whether the same technique can

Virtualize This!
  The January issue of Redmond magazine has an article about three
  IT managers who are using virtualization technologies to help
  make their work environments more efficient and secure. Well,
  the VMware people have added another usage for their virtual
  machines and it has a real “Doh! Why didn’t we think of that
  before!” effect: a pre-built virtual machine for the Firefox
  Web browser. What this means is that once you put the browser
  in its own little sanctuary, it won’t affect the rest of your
  network, no matter how many viruses or how much spyware it picks
  up. Neato, huh?
