The possibility of running programs that are not compatible with the existing OS is now allowed with Virtual PC which creates distinct virtual machines on a single computer.
Virtual PC is a useful utility developed to create distinct virtual machines on the Windows desktop of a single computer by installing multiple operating systems (OS / 2, Linux, Solaris, NetWare, or other versions of Windows) that launch at Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system, from processor to network card in an autonomous and isolated software environment to run multiple operating systems and applications that would otherwise be incompatible on the same PC.
Virtual PC can increase the productivity and reduce the cost of ownership across the enterprise.This software is very useful when needed to test a program that runs on Linux, for example, while there is only Windows.It offers the possibility to adjust various system parameters such as memory allocation, management ports, physical or managing network drives.
