everybody's doing virtualization in grids nowadays -- that's the only
way they can have a secure environment when they don't have the luxury
of being able to access private namespaces.

many of the papers accepted to IPDPS'04 and CCGrid'04 are looking for
solutions exactly in that area.  rumour is globus has even got
improvements in vmware, something like binaries running at 20% native
