[QUOTE="Stenographers, post: 1046753, member: 97396"] I'm going to take that with a heavy pinch of salt. Are you trying to talk about virtualization based security in Windows? Because Linux applications do something similar to that, but instead of abstracting system components into HyperV VMs it uses namespaces and cgroups to isolate the application. Both Linux and Windows, via different layers of abstraction, interact with the hardware directly. That is what the kernel does in both OS's. Grub has nothing to do with this. That is one option of a bootloader for computers in general. Has nothing to do with virtualization based security or abstraction. Please stop perpetuating false information, it can mislead people into unsafe configurations and bad security decisions. [/QUOTE]
