ABSTRACT TITLE: Virtual P.C. DESCRICTION: A Virtual P.C.

is an emulation solution that lets us to run more than one operating systems on one computer. We install Virtual P.C on to the host operating system (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT or Windows ME). Virtual PC is a program that emulates Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, as well as IBM OS/2, or Linux on a personal computer, assuming it's equipped with a sufficiently fast microprocessor. With Virtual PC installed, a Mac can show the desktop for the emulated operating system on one part of the display or it can take up the entire screen. You can run any program that will run under the other operating systems on "regular" PCs. A virtual PC, or a PC with desktop virtualization software, is an end-user implementation of virtual computing where a desktop application (rather than a server) is used to emulate a PC. With a virtual PC, the emphasis is on direct interaction with the virtualized machine as if it were a local PC, rather than simply emulating computing power to use server-based apps. The virtual PC is designed to run on most operating systems without modification. The user can typically boot the installation media and install the OS as if all this were taking place on an actual computer. That said, after the installation is complete, the user can also install a set of tools (essentially a device driver package) that allow better integration between the guest OS and its host. Such tools are available for Windows and Linux when running in VirtualBox or VMware, and include such functions as two-way clipboard sharing, enhanced graphics (including support for the hosts 3D hardware acceleration features), and more tightly-integrated networking. KEYWORDS:"regular" PCs =>Intel microprocessor-based personal computers.Host OS => Operating System which is the PC running from initial.Guest OS => Operating System which is installed on PC which is running Host OS
