Maybe I misunderstood this article. It seems to me there is a security issue in X Server, which gives out keyboard input info to all running X apps. That's fine. If that's X Server, just fix it then everyone will be happy. Why introduces all the Xen/VM stuffs into this problem. It is like you have a mosquito flying around, but you choose to kill it using a nuclear bomb.

I'm sure that they didn't set out to solve just this one problem. Rather there are a whole slew of problems that per process vm sandboxing could solve (and a number that it could create). They're just interested in advertising their newly beta OS, and they are pointing out an issue they see in the X architecture that their solution happens to mitigate.
