- VMware allows you to set up any number of virtual machines inside your (Windows or Linux)
computer, where you can install one of a large number of operating systems. We use this
primarily for two purpuses:
- Testing our software under different Windows versions (Win98 through Win03) and different languages.
- Providing a sandbox environment for running high-risk software (such as Internet Explorer with Active Scripting enabled) and trying out downloaded software -- VMware allows resetting and removing all traces of whatever happened with a single click.
