How hard is it, to get inside a VHD file and write to it ?
that is Easy Peasy. I do this every day. You can mount a VHD in
Disk Management.

OK, part 2 question, how hard is it to write into an *encrypted*
container scheme. VMWare can encrypt a container, as one of
multiple examples.

Then the next question is, how hard is it to attack
hosting software and tip it over, assuming you are
administrator inside any hosting OS. Probably not
that hard.

While virtualization is "pretty", it is hardly bulletproof.

In fact, nothing on computers is bulletproof, just sayin.
