With VMware Workstation you can install different operating systems and applications for them, go online and do everyday tasks. The benefit of this method is tested various software under various operating systems, while not causing harm to the current system, installed on my main computer, as well as some test hardware solutions. Could life greatly facilitate cross-platform applications and lovers to work with the new OS.
