    ----
I am a grad student looking for a final project. I think i have come to a place where i can get great advice. i have read that a virtual environment has not been hacked yet. is that true? additionally, is it worth looking into as a project. Can MS virtual PC be compromised?

All the virtual machines on the market have been hacked in one way or another. It doesn't exist a complex software like a virtual machine that has not been hacked yet.

In any case, it's a very interesting topic, but I suggest you to take a look at some exploits/advisories listed in the most popular vulnerability databases (e.g. NVD) and carefully evaluate if it's not too hard for you, because VM hacking is a very tough topic.

p.s.: An interesting exploit for Virtual PC is http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/11786
