\nVirtual machines can seem juuuuust a bit too geeky for most otherwise computer-friendly people. That’s sad, because it’s an easy, free way to try or use a separate OS without messing with your hard drive.<\/p>\n
\nVirtualization is a whole computer concept unto itself, at least on the server\/enterprise\/big-fancy-corporate level. For home users, talk about ‘virtual machines’ generally refers to x86 virtualization. Basically, it’s software that allows an entire operating system (the ‘guest’) to run on another OS (the ‘Host’), whether in a container window, or full-screen, or in what’s sometimes called a ‘seamless’ mode, where just one application is run from the ‘guest'”<\/p>\n
