Re: RE: Virtual environments security

It is possible to directly access the hardware from a virtual enviornment.  If you have some questions on this, there 
are several good academic research projects going on.  www.cerias.purdue.edu/reassure is one...

To my knowledge there have been a few cases of people directly accessing the hardware, but I don't think that they are 
published results.
