Talking about virtual machine, i foresee the apparition of vmware
plugin or real host software that does various kind of security check
on the virtual hosted machine. The level of those security system can
be really deep inside the virtual system (mostly cause they are
outside the virtual system, and have hand all over it even before boot
procedure :) ) , not like most security system which run inside a
operating system.

And to foresee really far, may be we will see the advent of EXOKERNEL
based hosting system. (But may be only in my dream)
