VMware is a virtual machine software that can virtual a new host on your existing operating system, which on the one hand is built on the operating system you are running, while it has its own independent CPU, hard disk, memory and various hardware, of course, these are virtual out, The CPU of the virtual host is realized through the protection mode of i386, the virtual hard disk is actually a file on this machine, the memory of course is a piece from the physics, other such as network equipment also is through some kind of way realizes.
VMware provides us with the opportunity to actually run two separate operating systems on a single machine, one of the original operating system, one running on the virtual machine, the former called the native, and the latter as the virtual host.
