The internet works by sending information to other systems and getting information back. As such, you will never have perfect security. At best you can send to systems not known in protocols not recognized via data not understood.

vmware is very big business. They care about their own money and hence have licenses, but are unlikely to have gaping backdoors.

win8 doesn't have your personal information unless you're silly enough to give it to it. They may have scammed lots of people into believing it needs an MSN account and internet access to run, but that's just not true.
