The decision to disable VT in the Sony VAIOs was apparently done out of security concerns as determined by their engineers. No details were provided so I can't say if this was actually true or not. (And I'm too lazy to find the link). In Sony's defense,once they realized there was strong demand they did release a BIOS update and promised to not disable VT in future models. Problem solved. I can go back to testing operating systems with all the advantages of VT support.

btw, why the under-capitalization? Something against Sony?

That probably explains alot of the problems out there. In Canada there is work experience requirement and it's taken pretty seriously.

Isn't there a 3 year minimum period of experience required before you will even be considered for an MBA program? Perhaps 3 years isn't enough? Maybe MBAs should be limited to Engineers or a technical field.

I wonder how much we could get out of existing hardware if we put a lot more effort into researching software methods to increase efficiency?
