Why aren't more people using virtual machines for anonymous browsing? If your VM can't access the outside world except via TOR, and it has no knowledge of the outside world information (because TOR itself is running on the real machine) then pretty much all possible leaks are closed and you're only vulnerable to leakage between multiple anonymous things. Very simple, very clean.
