Virtualization software allows users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one physical computer, improving hardware utilization and convenience. It enables situations where different software needs cannot be met by one OS or where switching OS requires rebooting. Popular virtualization options include VMware, VirtualBox, Parallel Desktop, and Xen, with VMware and VirtualBox being commercial and free alternatives. Virtualization software provides an efficient solution for running different OS as needed.
