Use Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently on the Same PC
VMware
Workstation 6 makes it simple to create and run multiple virtual
machines on your desktop or laptop computer. You can convert an
existing physical PC into a VMware virtual machine, or create a new
virtual machine from scratch. Each virtual machine represents a
complete PC, including the processor, memory, network connections and
peripheral ports.
VMware Workstation lets you use your virtual machines to run
Windows, Linux and a host of other operating systems side-by-side on
the same computer. You can switch between operating systems instantly
with a click of a mouse, share files between virtual machines with
drag-and-drop functionality and access all the peripheral devices you
rely on.
