Is there an advantage for using RSS/RVS as opposed to a virtual machine (VM)?

They create another complete computer on your desktop but let you access the real system by simply moving your cursor to the desktop or minimizing the VM window.

RSS/RVS lock down the real system partition with a simple click of a mouse, do not result in heavy resource use, and are immune to leakage and thus secure, where the nature of a VM ca
