No need to do something so complex
Yeah, right, your average joe is going to know how to set up and use a bunch of VM's. Not to mention the wasted harddrive space having multiple installs of an OS - just to separate email from browsing? Sounds like overkill to me.

Better yet - just follow safe email practices:

-Never click on a link in an email

-Never open an attachment you didn't know was coming

-Use anti-virus and anti-spam products

-Keep Windows up to date

-Don't trust emails from unknown senders
