Is the next step virtualization of the system, so you can run it anywhere? How does this effect security in a corporate environment when an employee can carry their own computer into your network and boot it? I can think of several network tools that when run this way, could be used to compromise a network from the inside. Most networks are hard and crunchy on the outside and soft and chewey on the inside.
Quoting from the press release at Iomega:
“Iomega’s v.Clone technology represents the first time virtualization has been made easy-to-use and extremely convenient for consumers and small offices,” said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Division of EMC. “With v.Clone software, you can carry your PC in your pocket and access your files, email and applications on almost any computer anywhere, including netbooks.
