much better than earlier emulation programs.
The main drawback to this approach is that it's much slower than
running a single operating system. For that reason alone, it's not an
appropriate way to play your Windows 98 shoot-'em-up games.
But it's a great test platform. For example, with VMware you can
install new applications and test them on a virtual machine -
without any concern that they'll harm your "real" computer or be
impossible to uninstall if you decide you don't like them. You can
set up a virtual machine so that it reverts to its original
configuration at the end of each session, which allows you to test
applications on a known configuration. And it's a nifty tool for
book authors: we used it to obtain seemingly impossible screen
captures, such as the boot menu, the logon screen, blue screens,
and so on.

Yet another way to boot from multiple operating systems is to
install each one on a separate hard drive - and then have a way to
select which hard drive you want to boot from. This is easy to do
with removable hard drives; you simply install the hard drive with
the operating system and files you want before you turn on your
computer. A number of vendors make removable drive assemblies.
With these devices, you install a drawer with a connector in your
computer case. You then install an ordinary hard drive into a
carrier that slides into the drawer.
UniPress Software (www.unipress.com/winux) offers a product
called Winux. Winux is a hard drive selector switch that lets you
switch among three bootable drives installed in a computer. It
effectively works like a removable hard drive system; you select
which drive you want before you start your computer, and your
other drives are unavailable. The difference is the convenience of
selecting a drive by pressing a button instead of removing one and
sliding in another.
