8 One property of virtual machine monitors (VMMs) like
9 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is to encapsulate a guest by executing it in a
10 protected environment, a virtual machine, running as a user
11 process on the host operating system. The guest cannot
12 communicate directly with the hardware or other computers but
13 only through the VMM. The VMM provides emulated physical
14 resources and devices to the guest which are accessed by the
15 guest operating system to perform the required tasks. The VM
16 settings control the resources provided to the guest, for
17 example the amount of guest memory or the number of guest
18 processors and the enabled features for that guest. For example
19 remote control, certain screen settings and others. See
