    For a high end firm, they really should do some usability studies
    on their web presence. I get a scripting error and a prompt to see
    if I want to lower my default precautions (ActiveX), which I refuse,
    and then the page just hangs and fails to complete loading.

    If they are saying that use of virtual machines, like with VMware's
    products or with Virtual Server, then they may not be aware that
    there are ways to detect that an execution is taking place within
    such a virtual environment.
