Oh...  no...  I've certainly used several different methods to work on
machines of my own at home (SSH, X over SSH, NX, etc.) in various
creative ways...  On one machine, I couldn't install the NX client
(Windows admins love to disallow installing software), and didn't have
my USB flash drive, so I fired up VMWare, and NX'd from a VMWare
instance to my home machine to use it.  Using your computer at home,
over the net, from within a virtual machine, running on a physical
machine is just ridiculous.
