Having just seen this I figured NTDEV would be interested. Unfortunately at the moment the link does not work when I tried it, but one would hope soon.

Subject: Help shape the future of WinHEC
A year ago we rebooted the WinHEC program. We built the new WinHEC program based off of partner feedback which led us to make a number of changes from the large conference we held from 1992 – 2008. The feedback helped us make the decision to locate the events in Shenzhen and Taipei, move from one major conference a year to more targeted conferences throughout the year, build in more hands-on-labs to help engineers become more familiar and develop skills with Windows tools and processes, and bring in more community opportunities through partner booths & presentations showcasing the exciting work in the Windows community. Momentum continues to build as we are seeing attendance grow while receiving positive feedback through our online properties and surveys we gather at each event.
To ensure this momentum continues, we are hoping to get feedback from our hardware community to help us fine tune the WinHEC program this upcoming year to help us meet the goals of our partners. Most likely the survey will take 10 – 15 minutes to complete, but please feel free to take longer to articulate your requests and recommendations.

You know… We’ve worked for a lot of companies. All the biggies in the commercial space, for sure… lots of cyber security firms, many firms in the defense sector across NATO as well, even including some 3-letter agencies here in the US. Medical equipment, simulators of all kinds, vehicle control systems, data gathering systems, storage… you name it. And not one of them has ever even ASKED what the browser settings on my dev box were. Nor have they indicated even the slightest interest in telling me what my browser settings should be.
You either have some mighty odd or some mighty powerful clients. Or both. Such things… intrigue me.
That link works in chrome. It redirects to the survey. Other browsers may
have issues. Mostly other browsers are awful, but google is working hard to
make chrome awful too.

Security concious organizations need to have security levels logically separated. Internet needs to be accessible only from trowaway isolated VMs, separated by VLAN or other encapsulation supported by Windows 8+. Likewise, email from unrusted sources should be only readable on isolated VMs.

The very first word that gets into my head when I see a description like the one quoted above is “Illumos” - the configuration described above can be achieved by a combination of its zones and Crossbow features, without having to install any additional VM guests…
