    Virtualization disabled on VAIO laptops

    Previously Sony has disabled hardware virtualization on their high end VAIO laptops. This means that the Windows 7 operating system as well as virtualization software such as VMWare, VirtualBox and others are unable to make use of Intel's or AMD's virtualization technology embedded in their CPUs. Sony's senior manager for product marketing, Xavier Lauwaert, responded that "our engineers and QA people were very concerned that enabling VT would expose our systems to malicious code".[63]

    However, with the new BIOS that are being released, most of the new laptops are now officially being enabled with this feature. This includes Vaio Z models with BIOS R2170M3 and R4043M3.[64]
