Nope.

What of them? I'm sorry, but you don't seem to be making much sense here.

Yeah, it says that the hypervisor does exactly what the hypervisor is supposed to do. I don't see what you believe to be the problem. There's nothing "insidious" about it.

If you've never used a virtual machine manager, you might want to give it a try. All the ring -1 hypervisor does is make it far more difficult for one running OS to corrupt another one.

What leads you to believe that a hypervisor will "restrict your fair use"? Personally I'm looking forward to a VMM that lets me put Windows in an escape-proof sandbox. That is the point that you seen to be missing. If Windows won't run in a third-party virtual machine that is going to come back and bite Microsoft in the butt with the current trend toward virtualization. And if it will run in one then it cannot enforce anything that the virtual machine manager doesn't explicitly give it permission to enforce.

So?
