Emulation and Virtualization Solutions
The terms virtualization and emulation describes an operating system running in an environment that it thinks is a PC. Normally, an operating system controls an entire PC. With virtualization and emulation, you can run several operating systems, such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux, all at the same time, within Mac OS X. The advantage of this approach is that gives you the ability to switch between Windows and Mac OS X (or other OS's) without rebooting. You can move files between the different operating systems and even copy and paste between Windows and Macs applications.
