It is also possible to emulate windows and Linux. One powerful way to do this is with VMware Workstation 4. This program can emulate Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Red Hat Linux 7.0 – 9.0, Mandrake Linux 8.2 & 9.0 SuSE Linux 7.3 – 8.2 & SLEES 8, Novell NetWare 5.1 & 6, and FreeBSD 4.0 – 4.8. It runs on host operating systems Red Hat Linux, Mandrake Linux, SuSE Linux, and the NT-based Windows versions. VMware allows users to run any of the emulated operating systems in any of the hosts. If a Windows 2000 user wanted to use Linux he could do so with this software. He could also run Windows 95 if he needed to. This software is very useful for computer programmers who need to test their programs in different software environments. For example, a programmer might check to see if his program is compatible with Windows 98 as well as Windows XP. Using the emulation software saves the programmer the cost of purchasing a new system. This software is also useful for a user who needs to use certain applications that are availably only for different operating systems.
