Albert asks:
So my question is: Is there a way to basically run two instances of your operating system, or basically running two computers on your own one system and monitor? I don’t know how to describe it really. What I want to do is basically have two instances of my computer running on a split-screen type thing on my one monitor. This is because I have a program that won’t let me run two instances of it at once. I have two computers setup to the internet, and I have to run across my room every time I want to do something on the other computer. I even got one of those “switch” things that makes my two computers connect to my one monitor. But that is still really troublesome, and I’d rather see if I can do everything from one computer and monitor.
Dude. It’s all about Virtual Machines. VMware saved my bacon with Vista, and it’s saving my bacon on OS X. They’ve recently come aboard as a sponsor so, in the interest of balance: I’ve also written about Parallels and other VM programs before.

I’m interested… how did VMware save your bacon with Vista? I purchased my laptop just weeks before Vista was released, and even though I have the upgrade disk, I have not done the Vista thing… keep hearing not-good things about it.

Albert said: “This is because I have a program that won’t let me run two instances of it at once.” So, what I want to know is: What is this application that won’t let you run more than one instance at once? Name names!

If he is running XP why not remote desktop or one of the VNC products I like ultra vnc.

I don’t know if this will work for your solution but i have two computers networked together, my main one I use for most things that has my mouse, keyboard and monitor plugged into it. then I have a computer I mostly use to store files, all it has plugged into it is power and ethernet no monitor or input devices. I use remote desktop connect when I want to connect to it.

it is cool, but the hardware requirement are high. Btw what is the minimum requirement for this CPU to make it smooth?

Is this different from Microsoft Virtual PC?
Because I saw that you you want to install an OS on your already installed OS, without ******** with that. Maybe I’m reading something different, I should google it.
