Virtual machine, or VM alone is often referred to software that is used to simulate the working environment of a virtual computer devices. So you do not need to add any hardware here, simply by simulation alone .... : D

VM will create a set of virtual devices from the BIOS, hard drive, memory, etc. so that you can run multiple OS from there. But the OS should be a disc "virtual" (ISO) in advance in order to be installed in the VM.

VM program is quite popular in my opinion is VMware and VirtualBox. VMware paid while the free VirtualBox (Open Source). In the next post I will discuss how to create a VM with a virtual box. The point in making a VM you should have a fairly high specification PC. If not then the VM will not run smoothly ... :

Familiar with the term VM Host OS and Guest OS. Host OS itself is the name for the OS where VM is running while the guest OS is the name for the OS that is run by the VM. So using the VM then you open the OS in the OS. Could you use Windows 7 and Mac OS X open up in a VM.

Here's a screenshot of the VM at work, shown in the picture windows XP as guest OS while windows vista as the host OS.

So it's already familiar with the virtual machine?
The aim of using any virtual machine? Is definitely a lot, just in my opinion the most common is for the nature of things to try (experimental).

You can do anything on the guest OS without worrying that you use the host OS is corrupt or can not boot. So here you can try a dual boot windows with linux for example, or even triple boot with windows, linux and mac OS WITHOUT sacrificing OS you are using. At least if the guest OS was corrupt, just reinstall it? or restore from backup ..

Virtually all happened rather than the actual hardware.
