Hi,Roger. There is another link for the same article about this topic.

http://www.vmware.com/news/press/forbes_2.html

What do you mean by "there are ways detect that an execution is taking
place within such a virtual environment"?

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.
