I haven't read the article yet, but do you think that something like this could and should be implemented into Windows? Or am I misunderstanding what it's all about?

 

There is an implementation coming in Windows Server 2016 called Nano

OK cool, will read about it. But do you think it could also be used as a security tool on home PC's?

 

Well, probably not. The amount of effort you'd need is too high. Besides, what external facing services do you have running? Probably none.

OK, so perhaps I misunderstood this feature, but to me it would be something like having separate desktops on one machine.
