It is windows that is vulnerable...within VPC, a Windows instance does 
not know it's merely a simulation...VPC emulates the hardware; therefore 
anything that can affect real windows boxes, will affect VPC.

The old Softwindows would be less likely to be affected because it's 
emulating *Windows* not a PC.
