Virtualization p0wns emulation
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been writing a lengthy series that attempts to help new Linux users
| figure out the best way to cover their Windows application needs. The series
| starts off by showing how well the Linux community has all of their needs
| covered by showing the open source equivalents to the most popular Windows
| applications. The series then goes on to highlight the different ways a user
| can run full-blown Windows applications. The choices? Virtualization or
| Emulation.

The 10-minute crash course in virtualisation
,----[ Quote ]
| Apps like Win4Lin or Win4Solaris will let you run Windows inside a virtual
| machine on a Linux or a Solaris box, saving you having to buy hardware and an
| OS. It's not just about Windows apps, though. Virtualisation is driving
| plenty of convergence between different hardware standards.
|
| Virtualisation applications create virtual platforms and hardware that will
| run on all your physical machines, irrespective of the operating system.
| Parallels and VMware both have competing desktop virtualisation tools
| available for Windows, Linux and Mac users. The time when virtualisation was
| an esoteric technology of interest only to corporations' IT departments or
| die-hard techno-geeks is over.

VirtualBox revisited
,----[ Quote ]
| Armed with the original installation CDs, I was able to quickly set up
| virtual machines, called âguests,â that could run Windows Vista, XP and 98
| inside my Ubuntu Linux PC without much fuss. In this way, I was able to run
| Windows applications and switch between them and Linux programs simply by
| clicking on the appropriate window.
