Now the let's move on to the virtual machine
This is where things get more interesting
For those who don't know what a virtual machine is
A virtual machine (VM) is an operating system (OS) or application environment that is installed on software, which imitates dedicated hardware.
The end user has the same experience on a virtual machine as they would have on dedicated hardware.
Any way let's move on to the types of virtual machines
1. Virtual box
2. Vmware
VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.
Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.
