Actuall, no. If a VM can be broken, how come everyone goes on about things being perfectly safe to run in one?

It gives people like me a false sense of security.

Exactly. And you can see by the number of upvotes your comment got vs the number of downvotes earned by mine that a false sense of security is shared by the majority.

Well I for one, stand corrected.
