We need to discuss whether we want to support, either actively or passively: * kvm, qemu, VirtualBox? > definitely yes ** A prepackaged Tails portable QEMU/whatever * VMWare? > trying to be pragmatical w.r.t. to user expectations. Given the > statistics of which VMs are most common (VMWare wins) it seems > likely that many people that will run amnesia in a VM are users of > vmware => let's support it >> OK --intrigeri * amnesia as a guest inside Windows (low-security context, not always possible to do better)? > it's better to make it easy to use amnesia inside {qemu, virtualbox} > on a locked-down public computer, rather than using the Internet > Explorer installed on this computer. Let's support running amnesia > on Windows, then, **but** tell users, when running inside a VM, > that they are implicitly trusting both the VM software *and* the > host OS. This is needed to avoid creating a false sense of security, > which is often quite worse as no security and a clear sense of it. >> This has been implemented.
