I believe many friends have heard the use of virtual machines to install the system, but the specific how the operation is unknown. Just say today how to install vista! with a virtual machine
First of all, introduce today's virtual machine software and the benefits of using virtual machines!
VMware is a "virtual machine" software. It allows you to run two or more win2000/winnt/win9x/dos/linux systems on a single machine at the same time. VMware uses a completely different concept than the multiple boot system. Multi-boot system can only run one system at a time, it needs to reboot the machine when the system switches. VMware is really "at the same time" running, with multiple operating systems switching on the primary system platform, as standard Windows applications do. And each operating system you can perform virtual partitions, configuration without affecting the real hard disk data, you can even through the network card to a few virtual machines with a network card connected to a LAN, extremely convenient.
