• "Integrated" VMs (As opposed to "Sandboxed")

  - by sabof

  It is common for virtual machines to be sandboxes, their interaction with the host OS being limited to the absolutely necessary.

Things like opening all files with a certain extension in either the host or the guest. Possibly other nice things I haven't thought of.

If the only reason for the delay are DNS caches, is it possible to bypass them, so I can see what is happening in real time?
