Means you can test software on a completely different platform than your
normal configuration since as far as it's concerned it will be running on
that virtual machine, and this means you can do things like configure
virtual amounts of memory, processors and their speed, as well as other
parts of hardware configuration, and operating systems etc. etc.
For example, if I wanted to make use of some software for use on a version
of linux, I could run the virtual linux machine within/from my windows XP
machine and still test it without having to have a separate machine to load
with the linux operating system as such, and in terms of testing, you can
also just close the virtual machine down, and go back to it's previous state
and start off all over again, or use it to make changes temporarily, etc.
etc.
Stay well

Chris,
Thanks for the definition. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to clear my
confusion about it's practical application.

What exactly is Virtual machine? Thanks.

Why not test the upcoming VMware Player 3.0 (free) and VMware
Workstation 7.0 (free for now, usually commercial). These are release
candidates so there will be issues here and there. The beauty of VMware
Player 3.0 is the ability to freely create and edit virtual machines.
I've been testing it and, in Player, accessibility has been
significantly improved. Go to
