display-1Are you one of those people who like to have more than one operating systems on you machine. If you are one such guy then I am sure your machine would have seen the test of time because you formatted it countless number of times to try new things on the machine with dual boot,triple boot or if you are crazy enough a quadruple boot. I am sure by now you’d have become an expert in formatting, partitioning and installing various OSs on your machine.

However, if you are not one of those guys who like to take risks and flirt with having more than one Operating System on more than one partition but are keen on trying new things like getting your hands on one of distros of Linux, then you have a solution in the form of virtualization.

All you need to do is get some sort of virtual machine and install and run an operating system from with in it. It has both advantages and disadvantages. The best part is you wont have to partition your drive and hence avoid the possibility of a system screw up. Bad part is it’s just like having “Sex with condom on” you will never get the true pleasure of using another OS.

There are various free options available if you want to have a virtual machine running your system on which you try and test another operating system. You can try free Virtual PC (Microsoft) or Sun’s VirtualBox which is available for Mac as well. However,  just for a short period of time you can get a free license of Parallels Workstation for Windows & Linux. This will otherwise cost you $49.99.
