How Splitting A Computer Into Multiple Realities Can Protect You From Hackers

Joanna Rutkowska is fairly well known in InfoSec circles.  I remember when Blue Pill was first discussed.  If this Qubes OS works as promised, and I have no doubt it will, it will be a novel concept for both business and consumer computing.  Just think, if one OS is compromised you just delete it and start from a new image or restore point.  There would be no consequences for any of the other virtual machines running on the OS.  Very cool, cutting edge stuff.
