Virtual Machines: A Game-Changer for Operating System Performance

A virtual machine is a software-based emulation of a computer system. It allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, using virtualization technology to create isolated environments for each virtual machine. This enables users to run applications that may not be compatible with their host operating system, or to test software in different environments without affecting their main system. Virtual machines are commonly used in software development, testing, and server consolidation.
