Good day to all. Im a Newbie here at go4expert forums. I'm also a Newbie at the computer world. Hehe. I would like to ask to our experts if what is a 'Virtual Machine', 'How it works?' and 'What Virtual Machine is the best to use and install'. Thank you. :happy:
A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (i.e. a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machines are separated into two major categories, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine. A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). In contrast, a process virtual machine is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process. An essential characteristic of a virtual machine is that the software running inside is limited to the resources and abstractions provided by the virtual machine—it cannot break out of its virtual environment. A virtual machine was originally defined by Popek and Goldberg as "an efficient, isolated duplicate of a real machine". Current use includes virtual machines which have no direct correspondence to any real hardware.
A virtual machine is a software program that gives you the power to run other operating systems on your computer. Because of the way these programs work, you can use them for testing, learning, or even creating your own operating system. Virtual machines are also sometimes referred to as virtual computers. or there are also virtual event marketing strategies.
