How is this not bloat for the kernel?
Because you don't compile them in when not needed

Thanks, wasn't sure if that was an option or not. So during install, that's a choice. thanks.

I kind of read the article in a different light, as in "now you can test linux and it just works" (as in from Windows) and that VirtualBox is adding something (read the article before you rip into me people).
Clearly it's not that way, but it reads it.

Same here. I wish they would have stayed independent.
Looks like they are keeping the standalone product for now.

I'll be excited when they get the issues with SSL and such fixed. Windows Web Browsers and such don't work on HTTPS sites from what I've seen.
Edit: It's been a while since I've tried!)

I signed up with these guys for home use, literally 6 days ago. I've already gotten 2 warnings from the teenage kid clicking on links he shouldn't be. So far, loving it.

Instead of falling behind in security like Intel, AMD leaps forward with AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization about to be in the Linux 4.16 kernel.

Doesn’t Hyper-V 2016 have something like that utilizing bitlocker or something like that?

Bitlocker isn't even remotely at the same level as this.
Bitlocker just stops all access to the boot disk and all data under it. This actively prevents VM's from communicating on unsecured channels to the host CPU.

Bitlocker just encrypts the drives when the machine is powered down. Once the system is fired up, Bitlocker is "gone" until it is powered down again.
AMD is protecting memory of the running machine.

I think this is what I was referring too.
