Will Malware Prompt Broad Shift to VMs?

This situation could completely change our standards for building servers, desktops in enterprises, and probably even desktops in homes. Rebuilding a desktop can be a painful and time-consuming process. If you use some sort of disk-imaging technology and keep adequate backups, you can make recovery far less stressful, but even so, with today's technology this particular route to recovery is the long road. However, if you have virtual machine (VM) technology in place, you can recover from an intrusion of nearly any type in only a few seconds because all you need to do is shut down the VM and relaunch it. . . .
