You don't need sandbox or virtual machine to protect your privacy. Just use a good privacy keeper - History Killer Pro

Nice write-up. I would however argue that by using a VM it can help you from a privacy and security standpoint just being that if you keep your VM in "Disk Undo Mode". Like you said, each time you reset the box and the disk goes back to vanilla all the cookie tracking and other malware that is tracking you is gone. From a privacy standpoint, that is good. And from a security standpoint if the VM is not a member of your local domain or network (that is as long as your other machines have their firewall turned on to protect from the VM) your covered from a VM as well.

All in all, I think it's a good idea but I do agree. your not covering ALL your tracks because they still have your IP address and all the information from that SESSION as well.
