Actually one of the coolest things I've seen so far !!! Talking about a program VMWare from www.vmware.com (http://www.vmware.com) . It allows You to build a virtual computer "inside" Your "hardware 'puter." The virual acts exactly as one independent puter with own bios (phoenix), own IDE units (HDD's, CD's), own virtual NIC's and own MBR and so on. To this virtual 'puter You can install almost any OS You want. (not MacOs) Several different Linux's and all Windows for example. This post is written in Windows 98 SE, a virtual puter inside my Windows 2000. The webconnection is through my LAN with modem in another physical puter wich run's W98SE. Confused...? By The way, VMWare works only if You have Linux or W2K as the Host.
Just to tease You off, some benchmarks from virtual W98SE inside of W2K. The Puter (Physical) is K6-2 450@500 192Mb. Why Sandra says the virtual is 24Mhz is funny, because it definelty does NOT appear like one... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I Just LOVE It ! Some "Why's": To test how webpages looks like in different platforms and browsers, security: If a virus comes to virtual puter just make a new one...
