Scope Of Improvement
If you are thinking this is going to eliminate the need for a better computer to run
more programs at the same time, etc.— I'm afraid you need to think again. Virtual
machines use the same memory, the same CPU, and same hard drive as your real,
host computer. This can be quite a problem, especially for computers with low specs.
For example: On my laptop, I have 2GB of memory. Usually, that is quite enough to
satisfy me, as often I only use about 50-55% of it. However, running two operating
systems, one on a virtual machine, can increase that to 90+%. With that amount of
RAM used, memory swapping might occur, and that slows things down.
So just remember: If you don't have a new, high-end computer, virtual machines can
make things a bit slower. For me, most of the time running one is something of an
ordeal, because I have to shut down mostly unnecessary processes and services.
