Second, VMware excellent website introduction
VMware is a "Virtual PC" software. It allows you to run two or more Windows, DOS, and Linux systems on one machine at a 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.
