     A VMware virtual machine provides an execution environment for full, unmodi‐
     fied operating systems running on an x86-based computer.  The host operating
     system runs on the real hardware. A guest operating system runs inside a
     virtual machine.  You may install one of several different guest operating
     systems in each of your virtual machines, and each operating system is
     secure and isolated from the host machine's operating system as well as from
     the other guest operating systems on the host.
