Actually Geo, a virtual server getting rooted does not mean that you have
access to the host operating system, it's exactly like if the virtual
server were on another set of hardware, there's no interaction between the
OS's. Virtual Server, Virtual PC, VMware GSX, ESX, and workstation, are a
very cost effective way to isolate important tasks...
