It definitely works - I would guess it reads the actual allocation table of the filesystem and doesn't collapse areas of the vmdk that are marked as occupied by files. Another thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that there's a small but definite performance hit to having a thin-provisioned vmdk

Something like this is a step on the slippery slope to running signed software only as well – you can effectively guarantee you wouldn't have malicious software if you only run things that you've whitelisted on your system. Of course, you can do that today and it also won't save you if you've

Unless you're going to white-list every doc/jpg/pdf/mp3 you're going to open, that's not a panacea either. Documents = 1's and 0's = code. The only difference is what layer its executed at. Assume you white-list AdobeReader.exe. The next time a flaw is found that is exploited through a
