 How is "xxx.ova" dangerous to run out of the context of Vagrant? I haven't
 tried to open one of the Vagrant boxes in VirtualBox or VMWare Player, but
 wouldn't the virtualizer protect me?

 BTW, I'm not a huge fan of Vagrant - it seems heavily dependent on
 VirtualBox and its "configuration file" is Ruby code!
