His latest article: http://rationalsecurity.typepad.com/blog/2008/12/virtualization-so-last-tuesday.html If you read through his virtualization posts ( http://rationalsecurity.typepad.com/blog/virtualization/ ), you will get a pretty good idea of what the "fuss" is about. I dunno, virtualization is neither good nor bad. It's just another tool, and it will take us a while to understand and secure it, just like anything else. There are definitely issues, and it pays to read up on the potential pitfalls.
