is it possible to have a win7 Template VM in order to create disposable VMs from that?
hen
thanx for the fast reply.

I read some of that but at times my understanding is limited.

I am currently still using MacOS. But within the year I want to move to Qubes.
I have 2 use cases for Windows.
1. Watch Netflix or Amazon etc. They reject the use of VPN and ask for a lot of "information", which is basically ok for me.
2. Banking. I have 2 banking applications that have multilevel authentication one of which makes use of a usb token. Here I want a usb-vm to connect these and only these usb devices. And I want a VPN connection with a trusted server and on top of that a very restrictive (IP-range based) Firewall.
The two contradict. That's why I wanted a basic Windows installation and from that two or more domains with specific configs.
But your idea of cloning is interesting. It seems simple, but it's a bit harddisk consuming ...
Thanx, hen
